The Senior Software Developer will play a critical role in supporting the Payload Data Services System (PDSS) development team within the Payload Operations Integration Center (POIC) for NASA's International Space Station (ISS) and Space Launch System (SLS) missions. This position focuses on enhancing NASA's high-rate Space Link data communications, enabling key missions such as Artemis Moon to Mars, Lunar Gateway (LGW), and Human Landing System (HLS). The successful candidate will contribute to mission-critical ground systems, currently operating on physical Linux servers and VMware systems, with a modernization effort to transition to Kubernetes containers on a new HOSC OpenShift cluster.

This role offers the rare opportunity to be part of NASA's ongoing human exploration of space, with an exciting chance to work on high-performance, high-availability systems that support future missions to the Moon and Mars.

Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and maintain software for NASA's Payload Data Services System (PDSS) supporting ISS, SLS, and Artemis missions.
  • Collaborate with the PDSS team to ensure ground systems meet NASA’s high-performance, high-rate data communications needs.
  • Support legacy PDSS C++ codebase while contributing to modernization efforts including the transition to Kubernetes containers and DevSecOps pipelines.
  • Engage in full software development lifecycle activities, from technical requirements capture to deployment and support.
  • Implement complex multi-threaded parallel designs, object-oriented, and functional programming techniques.
  • Conduct unit testing and develop automated testing frameworks to ensure reliability and performance.
  • Participate in post-launch analysis and technical presentations to ensure mission success.
  • Contribute to the agile development process, ensuring timely and effective delivery of software updates and improvements.
  • Assist in the modernization and migration of existing systems to containerized environments using OpenShift.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including flight operations and other ground system developers, to meet mission-critical requirements.
Requirements:
  • Minimum of 5 years in relevant software development, preferably within the aerospace or defense industries.
  • Proficiency in C++ is essential, with experience in C, C#, Java, and functional programming languages considered valuable.
  • Strong network programming skills, particularly in high-performance, high-availability systems.
  • Experience with complex multi-threaded parallel design, object-oriented programming, and functional design techniques.
  • Experience with unit testing and automated testing frameworks.
  • Familiarity with GitLab and experience managing version control systems.
  • Experience in agile software development processes.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering or computer science field from an ABET-accredited institution.
Desired:
  • Experience working in aerospace or space operations, particularly with NASA systems.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies such as Kubernetes and experience with DevSecOps pipelines.
  • Knowledge of Angular, ReactJS, and other modern web development frameworks.
  • Experience working with high-rate Space Link data communications or ground support systems for space missions.
  • Knowledge of Linux-based systems and virtualization technologies like VMware.
  • Proven ability to present technical information and perform post-mission failure analysis.
