From a young age she dreamed of lifting off in the space shuttle, just like her hero, astronaut Sally Ride. Over the years her interest in space remained, and she eventually found herself working at NASA.

Simon is the senior scientist for planetary atmospheres research in the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Her scientific research involves the study of the composition, dynamics, and cloud structure in Jovian (Jupiter-like) planet atmospheres, primarily from spacecraft observations like the Hubble Space Telescope.

Simon is also involved in multiple robotic flight missions, as well as future mission concept development. She was a co-investigator on the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) and is the deputy instrument scientist for the OSIRIS-REx Visible and near-IR Spectrometer (OVIRS), as well as the Landsat 9 TIRS2 instrument, and the Lucy L'Ralph instrument deputy principal investigator. She is principal investigator of the Hubble Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) program. She recently served as science co-lead of the NASA Ice Giants Mission Concept study.
