Network has an outstanding opportunity for a
Seismologist/Developer. This is an in-person or hybrid position in
the Seattle office.
<br>
<br>
<br>
The PNSN monitors earthquakes in Washington and Oregon for public
safety and scientific research. We operate 600+ remote seismic
stations throughout the region. Data from these remote sites are
continuously transmitted to the UW. The data are processed through
several software applications to provide a series of earthquake
information products.
<br>
<br>
If you are a seismologist with great coding skills who enjoys
applying your knowledge to real-time problems, we have the job for
you! We are looking for a new member of our team to help design,
evaluate, and deploy new real-time processing and analysis codes
as well as visualization tools to analyze and review their
performance. For example, the PNSN desires to add a machine
learning workflow in parallel to our traditional earthquake
detection and location methods. This is an operational position,
and you would share responsibility for monitoring, evaluating, and
maintaining deployed codes. The successful applicant will work
within a small team of scientists, software engineers, and
computer specialists at PNSN and within the wider ANSS regional
seismic network community. An exciting challenge for the
Seismologist is to work within a real-time and continuous
production framework.
<br>
<br>
The PNSN’s values emphasize a respectful inclusive environment,
the open sharing of different perspectives, employee flexibility,
and a commitment to serving Washington and Oregon with strong
applied science. Professional development is expected and
encouraged.
<br>
<br>
RESPONSIBILITIES:
<br>
<br>
• Evaluate new methods using PNSN data and operationalize them
using high-performance code.
<br>
• Assure the quality of software products through the use of
continuous integration, automated unit testing, code versioning,
and code coverage tools.
<br>
• Maintain, update, and monitor operational software. Address
issues as they arise.
<br>
• Technical writing: document procedures, algorithm performance
reports, code documentation for other developers as well as user
documentation. Publications in peer-reviewed journals when
appropriate.
<br>
• Evaluate the performance of operational real-time seismic
analysis codes and retune them as needed.
<br>
• Stay abreast of community developments in seismic analysis,
including waveform and meta-data formats.
<br>
• Participate in research and development, mentor undergraduate
research assistants.
<br>
• Participate in the Duty Seismologist rotation and be on-call
remotely to respond to after-hours events two out of every eight
weeks.
<br>
• Respond to outages, earthquake sequences, and volcanic unrest
during non-business hours as needed.
<br>
<br>
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
<br>
<br>
• Master's Degree in Geosciences, Computer Sciences, Applied Math,
or related field
<br>
• Minimum of 2 years relevant experience
<br>
<br>
Equivalent education/experience will substitute for all minimum
qualifications except when there are legal requirements, such as a
license/certification/registration.
<br>
<br>
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
<br>
<br>
• Excellent understanding of the earthquake detection and location
problem and/or waveform propagation and signal processing
<br>
• Fluency in Python
<br>
• Familiarity with at least one of C, C++, Java
<br>
• Ability to read and review code in many programming languages
<br>
• Ability to work as part of a team to plan, organize, and execute
technical projects
<br>
• Familiarity with, or willingness to learn,
development-to-deployment workflow using agile methodologies,
continuous integration, code reviews, and test environments
<br>
• Ability to work with legacy code
<br>
• Unix/Linux skills including scripting
<br>
• Database application development
<br>
• Demonstrated organizational skills, self-motivation,
flexibility, strong communication skills, and the ability to
thrive in a fast-paced, energetic, highly creative, environment
<br>
• Commitment to continuous learning
<br>
<br>
DESIRED:
<br>
<br>
• Experience with real-time data flow and 24/7 operational
requirements
<br>
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and software deployments
<br>
• Experience in scientific software packages such as scipy,
pandas, and numpy, sklearn, tensorflow, or interest in learning
them
<br>
• Familiarity with Machine Learning workflows
<br>
• Experience with PostgreSQL
