Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with STAR SDR teams as well as inter-Agency collaborations and international partners on the development and maintenance of instrument and data product quality monitoring systems.
  • Manage cal/val tasks, support operational calibration, investigate anomalies, improve data quality, and maintain calibration parameters and tools for instruments like the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS), Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), and Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) on various JPSS satellites.
  • Develop and improve radiative transfer models, which are crucial for sensor performance analysis and data assimilation.
  • Support data assimilation activities, including evaluating the impact of satellite observations on weather forecasting and improving assimilation techniques.
  • Integrate existing and developing codes that are relevant to the instrument calibration, validation, and health status monitoring.
  • Perform software development and system administration to ensure instrument and data product quality monitoring packages are working properly under different IT environments.
  • Identify and quantify designed system goals, recommend creation of alternative system design concepts, and verify the design is properly built and integrated to the requirements.

Requirements

  • 1-6 years of applied science, software engineering and programming experience in satellite related applications (advanced degrees can offset multiple years of required experience).
  • Experience in instrument calibration and validation.
  • At least two of the following, or similar, computer programming languages on Unix/Linux platforms: FORTRAN, C/C++, Java, Python, IDL, MatLab or similar languages.
  • Experience with common data formats such as netCDF and HDF.
  • Software configuration and system administration abilities are recommended.
  • Knowledge of, and/or background in, radiative transfer and/or AI/Machine Learning are also a plus.

Education

At least a BS in atmospheric science, physical science, computer science, related discipline, or equivalent. Positions at the BS, MS, and PhD-level will be available.

Benefits

All full time employees are eligible for the following benefits upon starting: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), Paid Time Off, and 11 Paid Federal Government Holidays.
