Computer Scientist II

Extend and maintain reusable, robust continuous integration (CI) workflows allowing for the seamless testing of code changes across HPC and cloud platforms for large, parallel applications. Develop and maintain workflow features to enable seamless deployment of modeling applications across HPC and cloud platforms, with an emphasis on configurability and reproducibility. Contribute to the design and development of new and improved software architecture underpinning NOAA’s major operational modeling applications Comprehend and adhere to operational computing standards…

Numerical and AI weather prediction (NWP and AIWP) applications use complex end-to-end workflows to drive the modeling systems and generate forecast guidance. The successful candidate will design, develop, optimize, and maintain these workflows running on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and cloud platforms, as part of highly motivated, multidisciplinary teams including software engineers and physical scientists in an Agile environment.

Axiom is seeking candidates to support workflow development activities for the new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Seasonal Forecast System (SFS) at the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC). EMC is one of the National Weather Service’s (NWS) National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) located at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP) in College Park, MD.

EMC is responsible for developing and transitioning into operation state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems providing guidance to the NWS weather, sub-seasonal, and seasonal forecasts. Modern systems are based on coupled Earth system models developed collaboratively within NOAA and with other research partners. EMC is involved in all phases of scientific and engineering model development including data ingest, data assimilation, model integration, post-processing, product generation, validation, and verification.
