MRI Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a

Research Software Engineer on the JETS II contract at NASA Johnson Space Center. You will support the Flight Sciences Laboratory (FSL), one of JSC's primary computing facilities-over 800 nodes, 26,000 cores, and 10+ petabytes of storage serving more than 1,000 users. The analyses running on FSL infrastructure support nearly every major NASA program, including International Space Station (ISS), Orion, Space Launch System (SLS), Commercial Crew, Lunar Gateway, and Human Landing System.

A Day in the Life

Your responsibilities will include partnering with FSL users to evaluate and optimize the group's software development practices and ensure the success of their projects. You will participate in the planning and major development efforts on software engineering projects for flight software, guidance and navigation, and analysis. You will work closely with partners and external contractors to meet their software requirements and address bugs. A core part of the role is acting as a mentor for good software development and engineering practices in HPC environments, helping FSL users get the most out of the cluster's tools and workflows in support of the NASA human spaceflight mission.
