GAMA-1 is seeking qualified remote scientific programmer and software engineer candidates to support NOAA’s Application and Science Common Services Support (ASCSS). ASCSS specializes in transitioning science software from research to operations. Once operational, the software will process large amounts of input data from satellites and dozens of operational datasets maintained by NOAA, NASA, and other international weather agencies. The integration team within ASCSS must review algorithm software, ensure they meet coding and security standards, identify optimizations necessary for operations, and test that all necessary algorithm functionality is operationally ready. This requires our team to maintain a close relationship with researchers so that we understand the algorithm interfaces and are prepared to support all the necessary communication of data from the system into the algorithm.

Responsibilities

· Provides programming support for the next generation NOAA weather satellites using industry standard software engineering techniques. Support science algorithm integration and research-to-operation efforts for transitioning new and legacy scientific software applications, to run in new ground systems

· Update code (refactor, debug, port, optimize) to work within NESDIS ground processing systems and to meet coding standards and processing efficiency.

· Interact with science teams to understand requirements, identify improvements and optimize complex algorithm code such that quality software will be deployed operationally

· Prepare and package integrated algorithm code for delivery

Qualifications

• · 4+ years of experience in Fortran, C/C++ and knowledgeable in good programming practices
• · 2+ years of experience in Python
• · Experience with code development in Linux platform
• · Highly skilled at finding, identifying the cause of, and resolving bugs and anomalies
• · Excellence in developing or integrating scientific codes
• · Ability to handle multiple projects at a time
• · Willingness to learn new tools as demand arises
• · Teamwork and strong interpersonal skills
• · Must be able to get a security clearance

Desired Skills:

• · Experience working using Satellite, Weather Station, Radiosonde, Radar, and Paleoclimate datasets, highly desired
• · Experience with interoperability between Fortran 90/95 and C/C++
• · Knowledgeable in Optimization techniques to improve the code performance and speed
• · Familiarity with CM tool such as Git
• · Experience with real-time and off-line processing of satellite data, science algorithm integration
• · Experience in container operations (preferably Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)

Education:

BS degree or higher with formal course work in physics/ mathematics/ computer programming/ remote sensing
