Subject: Software Engineer- Mission Data Lead (DTS) at NASA Goddard

Description:
The Mission Data Lead supports the JPSS Ground Project by monitoring the
performance of ground system science data processing applications to minimize
the impact of potential data loss and/or delay from any issues with that
processing. This monitoring includes analysis of science data delivered from
the S-NPP and JPPS satellites, determining which Earth Science products
should have been delivered, and which Earth Science products were delivered
to NOAA and other data consumers. Analysis includes the use of software tools
and may include modification of these tools to make the reports more
effective. Support of multiple regularly scheduled meetings to keep informed
of overall system status and upcoming events that may impact science data, to
follow through with resolution of issues or problems that are tracked via a
work request system. Assist in developing future capability of system
reports.

Candidate will use Software Development expertise to provide insight and
guidance on the development of the ground systems applications. Position will
require candidate to develop an understanding of the end user's requirements
- what are they expecting from the data acquired by the satellite and how do
they want it presented. Candidate will help solve challenges to the products
ranging from data latency to competing customer interests. Position will be
