Research Computer Scientist, AST, Computer Research and Development (Direct Hire)

The Autonomous Systems Laboratory at NASA Stennis Space Center (SSC) is seeking a highly skilled Computer Scientist to create software and tools applicable to the Center’s strategic plan of designing autonomous systems that accelerate the development of intelligent aerospace systems and services by government and industry. In addition to the Basic Education Requirement, to qualify for this position you must meet the requirements below. Specialized experience is experience that has equipped you with the particular ability, skill, and knowledge to successfully perform the duties of this position and is typically in or related to this line of work.

Please make an application promptly if you are a good match for this role due to high levels of interest.

To qualify at the GS-12 level, you must have:

1. One year of directly related specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 level:

• Programming in C / C++, Python, ROS, G2 for embedded systems and data processing;
• Building Large Language Models (LLMs) and various other applications using tools and languages such as Jira, NodeJS, Django, Python;
• Collaborating with team members to solve technical problems and meet project objectives.

OR

1. Completed all requirements for a doctoral degree (i.e., Ph.D. or equivalent) in an appropriate field.

Your resume must include a clear and detailed narrative description, in your own words, of how you meet the required specialized experience. Experience statements copied from a position description, vacancy announcement or other reference material constitutes plagiarism and may result in disqualification and losing consideration for the job.

Required college majors for applicants qualifying on the basis of graduate education only:
