Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSean Moss is a Software Engineer III with 11 years of experience applying astrophysics and computer science to simulation, visualization, and distributed systems, currently contributing at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. He built physics-based simulations and hardware/software-in-the-loop testbeds at Draper for lunar-lander and NASA HLS efforts, and has hands-on experience validating autonomous navigation algorithms and integrating complex distributed systems. Trained in both astronomy and CS (CU Boulder) and pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Tufts, he blends observational/instrumentation insight with scientific computing, machine learning, and graphics expertise. His background in observatory IT and outreach — from planetarium production to teaching high-school astronomy — gives him a rare mix of public-facing communication and deep technical tooling. Colleagues rely on him for turning research-grade algorithms into testable, visualization-ready systems used in mission development.
