Top SchoolIan Jordan is a science operations scientist and seasoned software engineer with roughly three decades of experience designing, building, and maintaining mission planning toolkits for HST, JWST, and the upcoming Roman Space Telescope. He blends hands-on astronomy and observational experience with deep Unix-based pipeline development and a polyglot coding background (Python, Fortran, MATLAB, Perl and more), and has led one of the three core operations toolkits used across multiple flight missions. Ian’s career spans science planning, software test engineering, prototyping, and procurement at institutions including STScI and the U.S. Naval Observatory, and he has published extensively on spacecraft mission design and operations. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he pairs research-grade technical instincts with practical skills in project accounting, government procurement, and long-lived code maintenance.
