Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hi all, We have two AWIPS developer job postings currently open. If you could pass the announcement below along to anyone you think might be interested, I would be most grateful. Thanks, Ethan Unidata AWIPS Developer - Software Engineer II Unidata <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/about/tour/index.html> is looking for a scientific software developer 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 support, maintain, and develop Unidata software projects. This position will focus on the Unidata AWIPS <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/> package. AWIPS (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. Together with the rest of the Unidata AWIPS team, this position will support, maintain, and develop the Unidata AWIPS package and the real-time meteorological data streams available through AWIPS. In addition, the Unidata AWIPS team is responsible for maintaining and advancing Unidata AWIPS training materials and teaching Unidata’s AWIPS Training Workshops, locally and periodically at regional workshops. For a detailed job description and information on how to apply, see the official posting <https://ucar.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/UCAR_Careers/job/Foothills-Lab-4/Scientific-Software-Developer--Software-Engineer-II_REQ-2019-115-1> . Unidata AWIPS Lead Engineer - Software Engineer IV UCAR Unidata <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/about/tour/index.html> is looking for a scientific software developer to join our team as technical lead for the Unidata AWIPS project. Unidata AWIPS <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/> 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.
