The primary role of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory within NASA is the exploration of the solar system, including planet Earth, by means of unmanned, autonomous spacecraft and instruments. JPL scientists, technologists, and engineers are engaged in Earth atmosphere and geosciences; oceanography; planetary studies (including asteroid and comet); and solar, interplanetary, interstellar, and astrophysical disciplines. Research opportunities exist in many of JPL’s technical divisions. These technical divisions encompass almost all JPL engineering and science resources. Each technical division is concerned with the planning, design, development engineering, and implementation functions relevant to its discipline area. Fundamental to the structure of JPL is the cooperation among the functions of research, science, advanced technology, and engineering of these operating divisions. JPL is managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

Antenna Pointing Performance
Analyze the pointing performance of the Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas under dynamic conditions. Using computer models, evaluate the performance of different antenna control algorithms. Develop and upgrade computer simulation models.
Antenna Control System
Work with a software engineering team to design and develop software-based control systems for the Deep Space Network antennas. Responsibilities will include design, development, testing, and documentation of software. Platforms include SUN, PC, and embedded computers.
Antenna Control Sysem
Design and develop hardware to interface a real-time antenna control computer to the electro-mechanical drives for Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas. Responsibilities will include hardware-software interface definition, circuit design and development, implementation, and testing.
Data Packet Library
