The team at Advanced Space is leading humanity back to the Moon and pioneering innovative solutions in the space industry. Based in Westminster Colorado, this incredible team is looking for a PT Senior Web Developer to lead the full stack rebuild and enhancement for our Flight Dynamics Services (FDS) tool.  FDS is currently flying the CAPSTONE satellite at the Moon and will be the primary planning tool used for many future deep space missions.  This job is offered on a contract basis varying between half-time and full-time for 6+ months with possible follow on work.

Advanced Space is a rapidly growing, privately held business that incorporates our core values in all that we do. Advanced Space exists to support the sustainable exploration, development, and settlement of space and operates with four core values: We are customer obsessed and mission focused; when we see it, we solve it; we are one team, motivated by our vision; and we bring technical excellence and inexhaustible curiosity.

  • Help define database schemas and software database interfaces suitable to the data sets supported by FDS.
  • Create sufficient documentation describing the tool, theory, environment, design, and implementation of all facets of the interface and infrastructure.
  • Develop and implement a test strategy/plan for the web interface.
  • Support development and build-up of the server side by allowing prototype based front-end use for integration and test of the entire system.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
