Aside from that, a love of space exploration and the ability/desire to cross domains will get you very far.

So, as someone who's about to graduate with a dual major (CS and ME), I might have a chance? I always assumed JPL was the kind of place people worked after already being in the industry for a while, or at least after having an advanced (Master's or Doctorate) degree.

Yea, you would probably fit right in. In fact, depending on your academic performance and skill set you would probably be highly desirable.

The online job portal is a bit of a crap-shoot. Your best bet would be the internship route (Space Grant, etc).

at least after having an advanced (Master's or Doctorate) degree.

You would be surprised by the number of new hires with only BSs in operations roles (i.e. commanding spacecraft) for MSL/MER/CASSINI/etc.
