opportunities for improvement, and implement solutions that enhance reliability, performance, maintainability, and operational effectiveness.\nMaintain and modernize legacy software applications and supporting technologies while preserving critical engineering analysis capabilities.\nEvaluate 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.\nDatabase Administration and Computer Systems Support\nDesign, develop, administer, and maintain relational databases supporting imagery analysis, metadata management, engineering assessments, and reporting.\nDevelop and maintain database structures, tables, relationships, queries, user permissions, and supporting documentation.\nConfigure, deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain servers supporting databases, websites, software services, and API endpoints.\nInvestigate and resolve software, database, and computer system issues to ensure continuity of critical engineering analysis capabilities.\nDevelop queries, compile statistics, and generate technical reports supporting engineering analysis, application performance, and database usage.\nMaintain software requirements, database definitions, interface specifications, configuration documentation, and data management procedures.\nSupport the integration and interoperability of imagery analysis applications, databases, and associated engineering systems.\nEngineering Imagery Processing and Analysis\nDevelop and apply software tools and image processing techniques to support engineering analysis of still imagery, video, film, and high-speed digital imagery.\nProcess, manipulate, enhance, stabilize, align, and correlate imagery collected from multiple camera systems.\nSupport the evaluation of camera characteristics, image orientation, lens parameters, image timing, metadata, and other technical factors affecting imagery interpretation.\nAssist imagery analysts in identifying, classifying, characterizing, and documenting significant engineering events, anomalies, and vehicle behavior.\nSupport the correlation of imagery timing and observations with other engineering data sources.\nParticipate in post-launch reviews of SLS ascent imagery to support engineering assessments, anomaly investigations, and crew and vehicle safety.\nPrepare or contribute to technical assessments, analysis products, and reports documenting engineering observations and findings.\nTechnical Collaboration and Documentation\nCollaborate with imagery analysts, engineers, software developers, and technical stakeholders to identify requirements and develop effective software solutions.\nInvestigate complex technical problems, evaluate alternatives, and implement practical, sustainable solutions.\nDevelop and maintain software documentation, technical procedures, interface definitions, requirements, and configuration records.\nCommunicate technical findings, recommendations, and engineering assessments through written reports, presentations, and technical discussions.\nSupport knowledge transfer, process improvements, and technical continuity of critical engineering imagery analysis capabilities.\nWork independently and collaboratively to prioritize software maintenance, technical problem resolution, and new development activities.\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, Information Technology, or closely related technical discipline is required.
