I'm not the OP, but here's what I did at NASA that I found interesting: - Developed the space lidar that will measure the polar ice cap melting - Created a dashboard to monitor a spacecraft in deep space (and then ran ops for it) - Developed learning models on a top500 supercomputer - Optimization of 1000-GPU (yes) detailed simulation of the earth's magnetosphere Yes, I knew that the industry will pay more, but honestly, I was young and just wanted to have a good time and stay around family in the area. The other jobs in the area didn't seem as exciting.
