Howdy, geowankers. Apologies if you're the sort of person that doesn't like to see job postings on technical list, but I think this may be well-aligned with some people's interests. (Also, I found my current job because someone posted it here). IRG is a fantastic place to work! Feel free to email me off-list if you want to know more about the group or projects before applying.
Cheers, Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER Title: Software Developer (full-time position) Location: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA Start Date: Immediate Want to help NASA map Mars and the Moon? Want to build teraflop image processing pipelines that will run on NASA's supercomputers? Want to help set an example that will define the course of NASA open source software development? The NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group (irg.arc.nasa.gov) has an immediate opening for a full-time senior software developer to help create the next generation planetary ground data system and automated satellite image processing pipeline. This is a high-profile, high-impact opportunity to co-develop software that will make a difference in how we explore space. This software is already being used by NASA mission engineers, the planetary science community, and the general public through Google Mars/Moon, Microsoft World Wide Telescope, and other cutting-edge science and outreach platforms. Applicants should hold a B.S. (or higher) in Computer Science and have excellent software engineering and system development skills. A strong background in UNIX development and open-source tools is required. - 2+ years of experience as lead software developer - 2+ years of software development experience with C++ and Python.
