The developer will also create planetary and Earth-based cartography products for NASA's human space flight missions and operations, develop and manage geodatabases, versioning, data integrity, data catalogs, metadata, and other related data information. Additionally, the position will utilize and recommend automation techniques for dataset and imagery processing, participate in science and imagery mission operations as needed, develop and implement geospatial and data science QA/QC processes, and provide science services and technology products to a range of human exploration organizations including Artemis, Gateway, Orion, the lander/ascent systems, spacesuits, EVA, and ISS. The role requires interaction with scientists, engineers, and managers in a highly dynamic and occasionally time-critical environment, and performing other duties as required.
