Computer Sciences Corporation, Civil Group Work Values

Daily Duties at Computer Sciences Corporation, Civil Group:

Developed pointing algorithms, provided accurate real time and definitive attitude solutions for four highly successful NASA missions: the Earth Observing System for the Atmospheric Measurement, also known as TERRA, the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration, FAST Auroral Snapshot Explorer and the X-ray Timing Explorer (XTE). Calibrated FAST and XTE Sun sensors. Integrated adaptive filter algorithms in attitude determination systems. Tested and assured the quality of the Attitude Determination and Error Analysis System and the Orbit Determination and Error Analysis System. Tested the ground support systems of FAST, XTE, and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Implemented configuration management procedures. Developed custom algorithms and computer programs to model Sun sensor errors caused by Earth albedo. Validated the programs using flight telemetry from the Tropical Rain Forest Measurement Mission. Studied methods for reducing Sun sensor errors. Analyzed the performance of Fixed Head and Charged Coupled Device Star Trackers. This work was highly appreciated by the customer and led to more research funding. Enhanced the SKYMAP stellar catalog with accurate algorithms for predicting instrumental magnitude. Designed Earth Observing System mission maneuvers to increase Sun sensor accuracy to 1 arc-minute. Tested and assured the quality of the Landsat - 7 spacecraft simulator. As task leader of advanced sensor studies group, pioneered the determination of satellite attitude using GPS signals and laser and acoustic gyros. Performed spectral analyses to determine sensor response. Analyzed the effect of attitude sensor systems on the accuracy of attitude solutions using custom algorithms, statistical analysis and satellite telemetry. This work evolved in a reference technical paper on Satellite Attitude Accuracy based on Mission Experience.

What they like about Computer Sciences Corporation, Civil Group:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
