Employment Category: Associate (hourly; less than 30 hours per week) Location: Greenbelt, MD - On-site/Hybrid Travel: Required (field campaigns) Security Clearance: None Citizenship: Requires U.S. Citizenship Salary Range: $50 - $67 per hour Other Compensation: This position is eligible for STC's discretionary bonus program Job Description: STC is seeking a senior software engineer to lead the software effort preparing two NASA airborne radiometers, CoSMIR-H and CoSSIR, for deployment aboard a new NASA aircraft, and to support their operation during an upcoming airborne science campaign. The role centers on adapting instrument control and real-time data software to a new platform and network environment, establishing remote instrument monitoring and control capability, and carrying that software through aircraft integration and into live flight operations

The successful candidate will work directly with the NASA Task Monitor and the GSFC Airborne Radiometer lab, and will serve as the technical lead for all software aspects of the effort. ATMOS is a NASA support services contract that provides advanced scientific, engineering, and technical expertise to enable Earth and space science missions. The program supports research, data analysis, technology development, and mission operations across multiple NASA centers.

Through ATMOS, our teams deliver innovative solutions that help advance NASA's mission and expand scientific discovery. Key Responsibilities Include: Adapt CoSMIR-H and CoSSIR instrument control software to interface with a new airborne platform, including implementation of secure remote access to both instruments from the NASA network. Modify existing real-time data software to enable remote monitoring and retrieval of instrument data during flight.

Verify software functionality, data integrity, and latency under representative aircraft network conditions prior to deployment. Support instrument installation, checkout, and interface verification aboard the aircraft, including network and data communications testing; resolve integration findings and implement corrective software updates. Serve as instrument operator aboard the aircraft during science flights; provide remote instrument support during flights when not serving as the onboard operator.

Troubleshoot software and instrument anomalies in real time during integration and flight operations. Prepare and maintain software, remote access, and instrument operating documentation. Coordinate with the NASA Task Monitor on technical priorities, schedule, and status; provide monthly progress reporting.10+ years of experience in scientific programming and data analysis, including five years in a leadership role
