Senior Configuration Management Engineer*
The Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS -
www.riacs.edu), an institute of the non-profit organization Universities
Space Research Association (USRA), is looking for a qualified candidate
to join our team of scientists located in the heart of Silicon Valley.
As part of the USRA - RIACS team, you will work closely with USRA,
RIACS, NASA, and other scientists to develop software intelligent
systems, which support the goals of USRA and NASA's missions. More
information on the RIACS program of research may be found under the
"Research" menu tab.
MCT is developing technologies to fundamentally change the way
applications for mission control are designed, constructed, and
deployed. Rather than building software as monolithic applications, MCT
enables software to be built from fine-grained end-user composable
components and services from which software functionality may be
assembled and easily modified.
USRA-RIACS is currently seeking a Senior Configuration Management
Engineer with quality assurance experience to join a team of software
engineers at NASA Ames creating next generation software for Mission
Control for NASA's return to the Moon. As Senior Configuration
Management Engineer, you will design and plan overall test execution
and deployment tools and procedures for component-based software in a
highly collaborative, fast paced environment. Based at NASA Ames, you
will work closely with the Software Architect, user experience
designers, Johnson Space Center teams in Houston Mission Control, and
other software engineers to test and deploy an innovative software
product for use by Space Station flight controllers, then flight
controllers for the Constellation vehicles that will take us back to the
moon then on to Mars. This position requires
extensive configuration management experience in an object-oriented
coding environment and the ability to work both independently and on a
team. Some development is required.
Required Qualifications and Skills:
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science or related field
* Understanding of object oriented programming
* Ability to code and debug in Java

* Ability to work independently and collaboratively as necessary
* Ability to prioritize and self-manage work to critical project
timelines in a fast-paced environment
* Must be organized and able to put ideas into a tangible form
*Location: *NASA Ames Research Center
Compensation for this position is competitive and based on the
candidate's experience and expertise. Working at RIACS provides the
opportunity to collaborate on a variety of challenging space-related
information technology research problems with top quality researchers
from around the world.
