Data Assimilation Scientist

Torch Technologies is seeking an intermediate to senior level multidisciplinary scientist with the ability to combine remote sensing measurements with physical model simulations to produce best estimates of the observed phenomena.

Data Assimilation (DA) is used heavily in the weather prediction community and these proven tools can be applied to other remote sensing observations.

Primary duties will involve developing the software architecture to optimally fuse measurements, models, and their uncertainties to produce the optimal physical state.

Experience with physics-based model and simulation and radiometric measurements is required.

A well-suited candidate will be self-motivated, with demonstrated communication skills (oral and written) and capable of working both in a small team and unsupervised.

Job Requirements

A successful candidate will possess an understanding and background in at least four of the following areas:

• Aerothermal modeling of hypersonic vehicles
• Thermal protection systems
• Material physics
• Computational fluid dynamics
• Aerothermal chemistry
• Radiance transport
• Atmospheric sciences
• EO/IR sensors and spectroscopy
• Control theory and minimization methods
• Image processing

Good computational software skills are required.

Experience with object-oriented design principles and high-level languages (e.g., C++, Java), high-performance computing environments, and scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) is desired.

MS or PhD in Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent working experience in DA methods and a minimum of 5 years of experience is required.

United States citizenship is required.

Position requires that candidate meet requirements to obtain a final Department of Defense security clearance.

Inability to obtain a security clearance will result in candidate being ineligible for this position.

Position may require travel.
