Lynker Corporation
Overview
Lynker is seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer to support the NOAA/NWS Office of Modeling and Development by managing, developing, and optimizing the meteorological data decoder systems. This role focuses on the critical pipeline that converts diverse, native-format meteorological observations into standardized formats required for downstream numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems.
Responsibilities
Duties of the Scientific Software Engineer will include the following:
Technical Operations & R&D
Develop, maintain, and optimize C and Fortran programs used to decode raw meteorological bulletins.
Translate non-standard native data formats into BUFR and JEDI IODA netcdf by engineering specialized decoder logic
Ensure uninterrupted, efficient data flow by managing input and output streams for ingest data queues, descriptor lists, and temporary BUFR message storage.
Systems & Data Integration
Monitor and troubleshoot operational data ingestion across major meteorological data servers, including LDM, DBNet, GTS, and WIS2.
Ensure decoded data tanks are optimized for rapid assimilation into the NCEP NWP system, supporting the generation of thousands of daily weather products.
Manage and maintain the software repositories pertaining to legacy and operational decoder processing.
Coordination & Reporting
Liaise with upstream data originators and downstream NCO Operations users to seamlessly integrate new observational data types into the BUFR pipeline.
Report on software task progress, system performance metrics, and project risks to the Lead Scientist and Federal oversight managers.
Participate in the Modernization of Observation Infrastructure project (GEODE) to transition legacy decoder frameworks to modern architectures.
