General Sciences Corp. (GSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Science 
Applications International Corp. (SAIC), has several immediate openings 
on a contract supporting the MODIS satellite project at NASA's Goddard 
Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD near Washington D.C. MODIS, the 
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, remotely senses ocean, 
land, and atmospheric parameters, and is the premier instrument aboard 
NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) satellite due to launch in mid-1998. 

The contract is up to 10 years in duration. 


Position #222: SCIENCE PROGRAMMER/ANALYST 

The Programmer/Analyst will be supporting the preparation of science 
code for the EOS production system, and may develop additional 
applications software.  Initial placement will support the atmospheres 
discipline group, so an Earth science background is a plus.

The successful candidate will have a B.S. degree in physical science, 
computer science, mathematics, or engineering, and at least 3 years 
programming on UNIX workstations in FORTRAN; concurrent C experience is 
also desirable.  Knowledge of software engineering principles and 
lifecycle is preferred.

In addition, prior work with any of the following will be considered a 
plus: NASA EOS, Earth science remote sensing, HDF, Silicon Graphics 
workstations, and high performance computing under UNIX. 


Position #257: GEOLOCATION ANALYST

This position is for software development and analysis support of 
geolocation. Duties include support for algorithm development and 
prelaunch data analysis. 

B.S. in physical science, computer science, mathematics or engineering 
required plus at least two years of relevant professional experience 
with UNIX and C; knowledge of IDL or HDF a plus. Any experience in Earth 
remote sensing, geolocation or spacecraft attitude/orbit support will be 
considered a very strong plus.


Position #258 : INTEGRATION AND TEST SUPPORT 

This position is for software testing and integration support. 

B.S. required in physical science, computer science, mathematics or 
engineering; 2 years of hands-on UNIX experience. This must include 
familiarity with UNIX shell programming and UNIX "make". Other 
requirements are at least one year experience in conducting test 
procedures, and ability to write test cases. Knowledge of CASE tools is 
a plus.
