Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Conducts postdoctoral research on advanced command and control systems for single- and multi-asset platforms. Develops AI-based constraint propagation, heuristic search, operations research, and distributed multi-agent optimization methods. Works with centralized and distributed task execution systems, deploys algorithms to edge and embedded platforms, and publishes findings in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

Develops and analyzes optical systems and instrumentation for space-based missions, including telescopes, spectrometers, coronagraphs, and imaging cameras. Responsibilities include optical architecture, performance error budgets, requirements development, verification and validation, calibration, alignment, testing, and image-chain analysis. The role collaborates across multidisciplinary teams, supports system-level performance, and may lead small technical teams. An active Top Secret clearance with SCI access is required.

Develop AI and data science algorithms for spacecraft autonomy, mission operations, scientific analysis, planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and execution automation. Apply search-based, constraint-based, satisfaction, optimization, and geometric reasoning techniques to autonomous systems supporting space, marine, and aerial vehicle missions.

Provides comprehensive administrative and operational support to JPL technical groups and section management. Responsibilities include travel processing, visitor badges, procurement, scheduling, presentations, office moves, onboarding, recruiting coordination, resource maintenance, events, compliance, and ad hoc assignments. The role requires strong organization, communication, discretion, multitasking, and proficiency with Microsoft Office, collaboration, procurement, travel, and document-management tools.

Leads technical training for NASA workmanship standards, including course design, curriculum development, instructional delivery, learning assessment, and instructor support. Designs classroom, virtual, and blended training using the ADDIE model; partners with subject matter experts; supports certification and workforce capability initiatives; and leads project-level training efforts. Requires expertise in technical manufacturing areas, engineering documentation, and preferably IPC or NASA instructional certifications.

Provides comprehensive administrative and operational support to JPL Section 353 management and technical groups. Responsibilities include travel processing, visitor badge requests, purchasing, scheduling meetings, timekeeping, presentations, website updates, office moves, onboarding and offboarding, work authorization memos, workshops, interviews, and ad hoc assignments. The role requires strong organization, customer service, discretion, communication, multitasking, and proficiency with Microsoft 365 and office automation tools.

Develop AI-driven planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and execution algorithms for autonomous spacecraft, vehicles, and mission operations. Apply search-based, constraint-based, satisfaction, optimization, geometric reasoning, and operations research techniques to complex mission data. Build software for automation, real-time decision-making, and scientific data analysis, while contributing to interdisciplinary teams and potentially leading development efforts.

Conduct machine learning and data science research for robotic exploration, science, and engineering applications. Develop algorithms, datasets, and models for airborne, orbital, and planetary mission data, lead small research teams, collaborate with scientific and engineering experts, publish findings, and support technology infusion across JPL and NASA. The role focuses on imaging spectroscopy, remote sensing, scientific validation, large-scale computing, and operational delivery of AI-driven technologies.

Provides strategic HR partnership to client organizations, advising managers and employees on workforce planning, talent acquisition, compensation, development, employee relations, compliance, performance management, and organizational change. Uses human capital data to support decisions, collaborates with HR and legal teams, guides policy implementation, and develops talent and organizational strategies.

Leads power electronics tasks for space-flight hardware from concept through design, fabrication, testing, and delivery. Develops power system architectures, requirements, budgets, schedules, documentation, and technical reports. Designs and tests analog, digital, mixed-signal, power, and sensor electronics, supports reviews and mission proposals, and coordinates development activities across project teams. The role requires hands-on hardware development, test equipment and software expertise, task-level leadership, and the ability to obtain required U.S. Government clearance.
