<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier10 BT"">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.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Courier10 BT""></span></p>
