Build cloud-based scientific data systems that process, store, and deliver large-scale satellite and mission data for NASA and JPL projects. This entry-level software engineering role combines Python development, cloud services, workflow automation, and scientific applications.
Develop mission-critical embedded flight software for spacecraft, small satellites, CubeSats, and instrument payloads at JPL. This senior technical role combines hands-on software architecture and development with technical leadership, systems integration, and mentoring.
Join JPL’s Navigation and Mapping group to develop computer vision and machine learning capabilities for autonomous spacecraft navigation. Your work will span foundational research, advanced mapping and localization, and mature flight-software implementation for lunar, Martian, and outer-planet missions.
Lead software development of NASA’s Deep Space Network uplink systems, including real-time signal processing, SDR integration, and FPGA-based hardware interfaces. The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, verification ownership, and occasional support at global DSN complexes.
Lead the design, customization, integration, and evolution of Siemens Teamcenter PLM solutions supporting JPL’s mission-critical engineering programs. This senior technical role combines hands-on development, enterprise integration, architecture, troubleshooting, and mentorship.
