generation data systems and automated data processing pipelines. This is a
high-profile, high-impact opportunity to co-develop software that will make
a
difference in how we explore and understand space. This software will be
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
