[awips2-users] Scientific software engineer position at UCAR Unidata - AWIPS Technical Lead

Hi all,

We have a job opening at Unidata (see announcement below). I would be most
grateful if you could pass this along to anyone you think might be
interested. If you are interested yourself, please see the "official
posting" link below for information on applying.

Thanks,

Ethan

UCAR Unidata <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/about/tour/index.html> is
looking for a scientific software engineer to join our team as technical
lead for the Unidata AWIPS project and to help us help our community of
scientists access the Earth system science data that fuels their research.
You'll have a chance to work with a great team at the Unidata Program
Center and an enthusiastic open source community to test, maintain, and
develop Unidata software projects. This position will focus on and act as
technical lead for the Unidata AWIPS
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/> package. AWIPS (the
Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System) is the meteorological
display and analysis package used at US National Weather Service (NWS)
forecast offices. Unidata AWIPS is a version of the NWS AWIPS that has been
modified and repackaged for non-operational use for research and education.

As technical lead, you will work closely with NOAA/NCEP, NOAA/NWS,
Raytheon, and the broader community to understand and specify Unidata
community needs. You'll collaborate with Unidata management and other
Unidata developers to evaluate the state of the AWIPS project, determine
next steps, and communicate this information to Unidata’s governing
committees and the broader Unidata community.

In addition, you'll work to improve and simplify the Unidata AWIPS
distribution and the installation process for use by the Unidata community,
and contribute to Unidata’s efforts to support the deployment of AWIPS in
other countries and national weather services. Alongside Unidata developers
and community members, you'll identify ways that AWIPS can be modified to
improve usability by University educators and researchers, working with the
NOAA AWIPS development team to document issues and consider solutions that
can be contributed back to the AWIPS codebase.
