Job Description:
ECS is seeking a Software Engineer to work in our Remote office. Please Note:
This position is contingent upon [additional funding].
Job Description:
ECS is seeking qualified 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.
Salary Range: $75,000-$100,000
