Participate in stakeholder engagement activities, such as gathering requirements, meeting with users of model data, and collaborating with academic partners; and
Test and transition hydrodynamic models to an operational environment and validate their performance in accordance with standard operating procedures.
Qualifications and skills sought for this position:
Master’s Degree in oceanography, meteorology, hydrology, or a closely related discipline, plus two years of relevant experience in hydrodynamic modeling on high-performance computing systems;
An understanding of oceanographic, atmospheric, riverine, and/or hydrologic models;
