Overview

As a Data Quality Machine Learning (ML) Intern, the candidate will assist in applying and analyzing ML models to improve the efficiency of meteorological data quality control (QC) processes that have been established by the Terrestrial and Planetary Environments (T&PE) Team of the Natural Environments Branch, located at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The development/deployment platforms are Windows, Mac, and Linux-based and the programming languages involved are Python, C/C , and Matlab. An important part of the T&PE's mission is to provide robust analyses of terrestrial environment parameters for the design and operation of space vehicles using climatologies. In addition, the T&PE Team is looking to update existing QC algorithms using ML to reduce the level of effort needed to maintain and QC these climatologies. Therefore, the candidate will help maintain/develop ML models used to QC meteorlogical data received from launch sites, and perform analyses of the resultant databases as needed.

It is expected that the candidate would provide 400 hours of support until a date no later than 25 Nov 2024. Flexibility exists in determining the number of work hours per week within this timeline.

Duties will include the following

• Developing and maintaining AI applications used to implement QC algorithms on meteorological data collected by the T&PE Team.

• Performing analyses of QC'ed terrestrial environment data, as needed.

• Presenting results to the NASA customer.

Here's what you'll need :

Qualifications:

• Must have completed their Junior year towards receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from an ABET accredited institution. Having a background in computer science, radar meteorology, climate, or remote sensing with an interest in ML is desired.

• Must have extensive experience with:

• Object-oriented scientific programming in Python.

• Designing tools suitable for spacecraft engineers (includes GUIs and executables).

• Accessing data stored remotely via APIs, virtual machines, and multiple data servers.

• Linux operating systems (Debian/Ubuntu preferred).

• The successful candidate also must:

• Exhibit strong technical writing and presentation skills to present data to internal and external customers.

• Have strong customer relations skills.

• Possess the ability to multi-task and transition between quick turnaround assignments.

• Show initiative and be proactive to make connections and build relationships with key players on the tasks.

• Demonstrate the capability to plan and perform analyses independently and as a team.

• It is desired for the candidate to have experience in C/C and Matlab.
