Hi all,

Below is an announcement of the job opening for technical lead on the
Unidata AWIPS effort. If you could pass this along to anyone you think
might be interested, I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

Ethan

UCAR Unidata <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/about/tour/index.html> is
looking for a scientific software developer to join our team as technical
lead for the Unidata AWIPS project and to help us help our community of
scientists access the Earth system science data that fuels their research.

Unidata AWIPS <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/> is a version
of the NWS AWIPS that has been modified and repackaged for non-operational
use for research and education. As technical lead, you will work closely
with NOAA/NCEP, NOAA/NWS, Raytheon, and the broader community to understand
and specify Unidata community needs. You'll collaborate with Unidata
management and other Unidata developers to evaluate the state of the AWIPS
project, determine next steps, and communicate this information to
Unidata’s governing committees and the broader Unidata community.

In addition, you'll work to improve and simplify the Unidata AWIPS
distribution and the installation process for use by the Unidata community,
and contribute to Unidata’s efforts to support the deployment of AWIPS in
other countries and national weather services. Alongside Unidata developers
and community members, you'll identify ways that AWIPS can be modified to
improve usability by University educators and researchers, working with the
NOAA AWIPS development team to document issues and consider solutions that
can be contributed back to the AWIPS codebase.
