Whenever I picturize NASA, I see a few hundred scientists working around day and night.
But there must be a lot of engineers (especially aeronautical, mechanical, electrical and computer trades) that build software and hardware.

This thread is for discussing the details of getting recruited at NASA.

Do share some useful information.

    NASA is said to be a world class organization, so the very top people from the very top universities compete against each other to get to work there.
    I am sure it's not an easy task to get to work at NASA. It would be interesting to know how engineers are selected.

    Any NASA engineers here?

    I read that they accept mostly doctoral degree holders with significant expertise and exposure to research. Atleast a Masters degree with exemplary academic attainments and research accomplishments is recommended by experts.

    Sorry for this irrelevant post, but whenever NASA is mentioned, all I recall is all Dan Brown's Novels! 😁

    Good to see more people who are interested in NASA 😀 I was highly enticing to read anything that was NASA or Universe, as a child. I always wanted to become an astronaut until I got bespectacled 😔

    We had the director of some department (the dept in charge of manned flight to mars) from NASA visit our school back in 2003-04. During his seminar, he gave us an inside look of what goes on in and around NASA. Those people are highly professional and very dedicated towards their work.

    The thing that impressed me was his presentation in which he showed us an animation that was made and played using MATLAB.

    Anyways coming to the point,
    #-Link-Snipped-# - check this for learning more about jobs and the working environment with NASA

    #-Link-Snipped-# - will answer some questions about getting a job with the NASA.

    both are informative links from NASA's main site.

    For information about space related activities check out
    <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NASA</a> - the official NASA site

    #-Link-Snipped-# - wonderful site associated with related people like the legendary Carl Sagan (co founder of the site) with lots of information and contests and stuff directly related to space explorations and NASA activities. It used to be my browser homepage for many a year. 😀
