JOB OPENING: CIRES Research Associate, Scientific Software Engineer



The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at
the University of Colorado at Boulder has an immediate opening for a
Research Associate supporting NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental
Information (NCEI), Boulder, Colorado. This position is for a Scientific
Software Engineer within the NCEI Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP) program.
The successful candidate will work as part of a team of scientists, data
managers, and engineers dedicated to the processing and dissemination of
NOAA space weather data. STP is responsible for developing the Satellite
Product Analysis & Distribution Enterprise System (SPADES), a demonstration
and prototyping system for processing GOES-R space environment products.  The
capabilities of the instruments on the new GOES-R series of weather
satellites (first launch scheduled for autumn 2016) will provide a
significant advance over the current measurements in areas such as spectral
range and resolution. The new instruments consist of the Solar Ultraviolet
Imager, the Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors, the Space
Environment In-Situ Suite of particle detectors, and the Magnetometer. As a
scientific software engineer within STP, the successful candidate will
monitor, maintain, troubleshoot, upgrade, and augment the scientific
processing system hosted on SPADES to ensure that product quality
requirements are met.
