NASA Ames Research Center’s Aviation Systems Division (Code AF) has developed specialized tools for airspace management, simulation, and data systems. These tools—Federated Airspace Management Framework (Freddie), National Airspace Digital Twin (NDT), and Sherlock data warehouse—are being upgraded for enhanced accessibility, AI/ML integration, and edge deployment. The Code AF Software Facility team is seeking experienced Python application developers to help refactor these tools, integrate them with visualization and AI/ML platforms, and support deployments in projects such as Advanced Air Mobility Pathfinders (AAMP) and Air Traffic Management/Safety (ATMS). Join our team as we build the technologies that will help drive modernization of the National Air Space.
