The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and enhancing specialized software applications, databases, websites, and supporting computer systems used in engineering imagery analysis for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) Program. This position requires a technically versatile professional with strong software engineering capabilities, experience maintaining complex technical applications, and an interest in applying those capabilities to engineering-imagery processing and analysis. The primary responsibility of this position is to maintain the reliability, functionality, and continued development of the EPA team's software applications, databases, and supporting technical infrastructure. The candidate must be capable of independently troubleshooting existing systems, resolving technical issues, and implementing enhancements that support evolving engineering requirements. The candidate will work collaboratively with NASA engineers, imagery analysts, software developers, and other technical specialists to support the processing and evaluation of imagery collected during ground testing, launch operations, and flight. These activities contribute to the identification, characterization, and documentation of significant engineering events and potential anomalies in support of vehicle performance assessments, mission assurance, and crew and vehicle safety. Although software engineering and computer systems support represent the primary responsibilities, the candidate will also support and participate in engineering imagery analysis activities, including post-launch reviews of SLS ascent imagery. The ideal candidate will possess strong software development and problem-solving abilities, sound technical judgment, and the versatility to support both established software systems and evolving imagery analysis requirements within a multidisciplinary engineering environment. Key Responsibilities Software Engineering and Application Development Design, develop, maintain, troubleshoot, and enhance custom software applications, tools, and libraries supporting engineering imagery analysis. Maintain the operational reliability and functionality of existing software applications and implement improvements to address evolving technical requirements. Develop and maintain specialized image processing applications for video playback, stabilization, image alignment, perspective correction, distortion modeling, image enhancement, and motion analysis. Develop, troubleshoot, and maintain desktop applications, web-based applications, websites, software services, and application programming interfaces (APIs). Evaluate existing software capabilities, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement solutions that enhance reliability, performance, maintainability, and operational effectiveness. Maintain and modernize legacy software applications and supporting technologies while preserving critical engineering analysis capabilities. Evaluate emerging software technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools, for potential application to software development and imagery analysis while maintaining appropriate technical validation and independent engineering judgment. Database Administration and Computer Systems Support Design, develop, administer, and maintain relational databases supporting imagery analysis, metadata management, engineering assessments, and reporting. Develop and maintain database structures, tables, relationships, queries, user permissions, and supporting documentation. Configure, deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain servers supporting databases, websites, software services, and API endpoints. Investigate and resolve software, database, and computer system issues to ensure continuity of critical engineering analysis capabilities. Develop queries, compile statistics, and generate technical reports supporting engineering analysis, application performance, and database usage. Maintain software requirements, database definitions, interface specifications, configuration documentation, and data management procedures. Support the integration and interoperability of imagery analysis applications, databases, and associated engineering systems. Engineering Imagery Processing and Analysi
