DESCRIPTION
The Multiscale Ocean Dynamics group at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography is seeking a Software Engineer at R&D Engineering 1 or 2 level. Utilizing professional software engineering concepts, the incumbent will be tasked with software engineering assignments and work in a specialized engineering field. Under general supervision, the incumbent shall participate in designing, implementing, and testing software for various scientific and research applications. These applications include real-time instrumentation acquisition systems, APIs to integrate data streams into isochronous packets using POSIX-style threads, and applications for host computers to store and visualize the real time data. The incumbent must be able to apply their knowledge of computer engineering and data structures to assist in writing software that will be deployed in the field and laboratory.
For this particular position, the selected candidate will, under general supervision:
-Assist project engineers in designing, implementing, unit testing, and debugging real-time data acquisition, processing, and visualization software for use by researchers and engineers in the field using C/C++, SWIFT, Python, and other languages.
-Participates in the design of integrated computer based instrumentation and data acquisition systems for measurements and remote sensing of oceanographic data.
-Participates in developing, designing, building, and unit testing of FPGA-based SONAR data acquisition systems.
-Assist in the maintenance, testing and deployment of off-the-shelf instrumentation and the development, fabrication and testing of novel oceanographic electronic and mechanical instrumentation systems in support of ocean physics research.
-Participates in the preparation and execution of both field expeditions and laboratory measurements.
-Participate with scientific personnel in data acquisition, quality control and archiving.
-Participate in the operation and development of web-based database systems
