Employment Opportunities in Artificial
Intelligence at Jet Propulsion Laboratory
The Artificial Intelligence Group at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California
Institute of Technology are seeking
candidates at the BA/BS, MA/MS and PhD level
to work on fundamental research problems
leading to unique software applications in
spacecraft autonomy, scientific data
analysis, and mission operations automation.
Openings in the following areas of artificial
intelligence research and development exist:
planning & scheduling, multi-agent systems,
operations research. Responsibilities for these
openings range from research program
development to software design and coding.
Candidates must hold a degree in Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering or a related
area, and must possess programming skills in
C/C++ and/or Java.
Past AI Group Projects have included automated
planning of image analysis for the Galileo
mission to Jupiter, automated planning for
autonomous Deep Space Network Communications
Stations, development of automated commanding
systems for Space Shuttle Payloads, and automated
evaluation of spacecraft designs, and demonstration
of autonomous single rovers as well as rover swarms.
Recent deployments included automated planning and
scheduling for the Modified Antarctic Mapping Mission
(MAMM) (Fall 2000) and onboard automated planning
for the 3 Corner Sat and Techsat-21 constellations.
This work has generated new research results on the path
towards unprecedented AI applications.
