We provide secure, scalable, and standardized solutions for programs across the Commercial Civil Space line of business, serving as a centralized hub of engineering expertise that enables mission success through innovative, cost-competitive, technologies and services. This position is for a Software Engineer for operational support and software development for the Ground Data Lake (GDL) team of the GDS org in the Orion program. This position is in support of NASA's Artemis missions: Artemis 3, Artemis 4, Artemis 5 and any future missions in development. This position will support development of big data tools and a data lake software architecture throughout a full stack and maintain tools including command line, GUI-based, and web-based applications that perform spacecraft telemetry data processing and analysis. All tasks will require working closely with the end users of all tools and responding to their feedback. Candidates may travel (< 25% of time) to support on-console and on-call operational activities during critical mission activities. You will be a critical member on exciting, cutting-edge missions to bring humans back to the moon! The primary responsibilities will include: * Perform software code, unit test, and integration test development for a full stack data lake product supporting spacecraft test, analysis and operations * Support software requirements development and formal verification development and tests * Assist in operational support to spacecraft teams to deployed environments, including internally developed and 3rd party ground software. Includes ensuring real-time dataflows, data management process, querying processes, command building tools, and analysis tools * Support troubleshooting of deployed ground system hardware, operating systems, and networks, coordinating with System Admins to resolve issues * Perform SW development and maintenance in a variety of languages (Go, Python) * Develop web-based RESTful services, GUI interfaces, tools to transform data, automation pipelines for spacecraft operations, and more * Deploy and integrate software to operational environments, and provide operational support to systems and subsystems engineers within Orion * Perform tasks in accordance with Orion and Lockheed Martin software development best practices and defined SW development processes * Investigate opportunities to integrate AI into data processing and data analysis., Plans, conducts, and coordinates software development activities. Designs, develops, documents, tests, and debugs software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business/mission problems or questions in computer language for solutions by means of data processing equipment. Applies the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the development life cycle. Applies knowledge of computer hardware and software, subject matter to be programmed in business/mission applications, information processing techniques used, and information gathered from system users to develop software. Corrects program errors, prepares operating instructions, compiles documentation of program development, and analyzes system capabilities to resolve questions of program intent, output requirements, input data acquisition, programming techniques, and controls. Ensures software standards are met. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Python Data Visualization @ Deepnote (w/ PyViz overview)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/113-python-data-visualization-deepnote-w-pyviz-overview) - [Advanced Typing in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/496-advanced-typing-in-typescript) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Getting to Know Your Legacy (System) with AI-Driven Software Archeology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1437-getting-to-know-your-legacy-system-with-ai-driven-software-archeology) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
