Signal Analysis Engineer III

Job Details New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally.

We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL.

Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.

We are looking for a Signal Analysis Engineer III/Algorithm Developer to join the Multi-sensor Worldwide Ocean Winds (MWOW ) team. MWOW is a NASA Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG) Cycle 4 solution, selected in response to one of the top five inter-agency needs identified in the 2022 survey, and it is funded through May 2030. MWOW combines ocean surface wind retrievals from every useful satellite scatterometer, radiometer, and synthetic aperture radar into a single coregistered, globally gridded product, delivered 6-hourly on both a 0.125-degree and a 1/64-degree global grid and archived for public distribution at NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC).
