Position Description

• Does helping to advance complex and dynamic modeling of space weather phenomena and RF propagation applications sound interesting to you?
• Do you have a passion for engineering robust software frameworks to support numeric modeling and simulation of space weather phenomena?
• Do you enjoy both architecting and hand-crafting software applications and technical leadership to launch a new generation of RF software product-based solutions?

If any of these spark your interest and passion, we invite you to apply today to join a team of software engineers, computational scientists, and DevOps engineers working collaboratively with RF applications and space physics subject matter experts from government and academia to develop next-generation RF propagation applications for US government customers.

We are a team with strong engineering discipline and individuals with a passion for problem-solving. We tackle challenging physical science modeling and simulation and apply best-practices in software engineering while maintaining a collegial work culture and promoting a healthy work-balance lifestyle.

What will you do?

• Help build enduring RF processing software assets to continuously deliver innovative RF impact products to DoD missions
• Apply software ingenuity to creating key integration gateways between science code and computing infrastructure
• Promote API-first approach and deliver robust software implementation
• Design and implement large-scale automated numeric regression testing infrastructure similar to NOAA UFS HST

Required Skills

• Minimum of 5 years of experience developing in Python, Fortran, C/C++ in a Unix/Linux development environment
• Must have at least 3 years experience with command line and shell scripting in developing numerical computational analytical software, preferably in support of scientific research and development working with large scientific datasets
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.

U.S. citizenship is required. Must be able to pass a background investigation to obtain a SECRET clearance to enter the government facility.

Desired

• Experience or background in space weather science or ionosphere physics and RF communication and radar is highly desired
• Experience architecting Kubernetes solutions
• Experience with OGC and geospatial programming is desired

Location
Work is performed at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM, with the possibility of an on-site or hybrid work schedule. Relocation assistance available.

Education
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or another relevant field
