engineers, and system administrators, and (2) creating novel
visualizations in support of projects and missions using innovative
technology solutions to manipulate and visualize large-data sets for
science and engineering.
Responsibilities include the following:
- Manage all aspects of the Scientific
Visualization Studio, including managing civil servant and contractor
work (which include experts in scientific visualization, software
engineering, database, web sites and interfaces, and system
administration).
- Generate yearly work plans based on
requirements from NASA stakeholders, workforce planning, and budget
planning, and coordinate closely with other Goddard groups, including
public affairs, writers, and editors.

visualization software solutions for NASA use, and when appropriate, for
use outside of NASA.
- Perform the application of, or research
into, new visualization technologies, computer science methods, data
manipulation, data transformation, and/or data management.
- Apply foundations of computer science and
system engineering to maintain and continue to advance the computer
system architectures (hardware and software) needed for NASA
visualizations in an environment of ever-increasing data volumes.
- Analyze and explore of alternative methods
for storing and creating visualizations, such as the use of cloud and
high-end computing solutions.
