📋 Description

• The AI and Data Assimilation Scientist will perform their job duties to a high standard, working both independently and collaboratively, focusing on scientific developments that advance the use of AI-DA techniques as an alternative to traditional ensemble/variational-based techniques. • The core responsibility is to lead the development, implementation, testing, and evaluation of an AI-based Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (AI-RTMA) system in support of NOAA’s National Blend of Models (NBM). • The AI-RTMA system will generate high spatial and temporal resolution analyses of meteorological variables to reduce biases in the NBM fields. • Communicate findings with EMC scientists and external partners to inform the development of a scientifically robust and efficient AI-RTMA approach. • Collaborate with NOAA’s NBM team and key stakeholders to define product requirements for AI-RTMA, including domain configuration, grid structure, output variables, spatial and temporal resolution, and data formats suitable for operational evaluation and transition. • Design, implement, and maintain robust data pipelines to support AI-RTMA training, validation, testing, and evaluation. • Develop, train, rigorously test, and deploy a fully functional AI-RTMA system based on selected AI frameworks or architectures. • Implement cross-validation and other evaluation methodologies to quantify model performance and reliability during inference.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience developing, training and deploying AI-based systems applied to geophysical systems • Experience with common AI frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow • Experience working with earth observation data, including conventional observations, satellite, radar • In-depth knowledge of data assimilation techniques (observation forward modeling, quality control, variational-based and/or ensemble methods) • Strong foundation in the physical, statistical and mathematical basis of geophysical modeling (atmospheric and/or environmental) • Excellent Python programming skills • Practical experience utilizing High Performance Computers (HPCs) and GPUs • Proven experience working in a UNIX environment with advanced scripting languages • Good communication skills, both oral and written, in English.

🏖️ Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare for the employee at no monthly cost • Healthcare benefit covers medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision • Personal Time Off (PTO) Policy plus paid holidays • Highly competitive compensation plan regularly calibrated against industry and location benchmarks • 401(k) retirement plan with company-matching • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) – we’re all company owners! • Flexible spending accounts • Employee assistance program (EAP) • Short- and long-term disability insurance • Life and accident insurance • Tuition assistance/Training/Workforce improvement reimbursement per year • Spot bonuses for exceptional performance • Annual Employee Recognition Awards with bonuses • Employee Referral Program • Free centralized, self-directed Learning Management System to learn at your own pace • Personalized career growth plans for every employee
