Subject: | Scientific Software Developer - Data Aggregation to ESS in Copenhagen, Denmark |
From: | Kristina Anderberg <[email protected]> |
Date: | Mon, 7 Sep 2015 08:36:35 +0000 |
The Science Directorate at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a Scientific Software Developer at the Data Management and Software Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark. Description of directorate/division/group The Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC), part of the ESS Science Directorate, is responsible for the design, development and construction of the computer software and hardware to be used for the operation and data analysis of the experiments to be carried out on the neutron scattering and imaging instruments to be constructed at ESS. DMSC performs work at both the ESS offices in Lund, Sweden and at the main DMSC offices currently located at Universitetsparken 1 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2017 the main offices of DMSC will move to a purpose built building on the Niels Bohr campus of the University of Copenhagen. The mission of the Data Management Group is to deliver the critical real time data streaming and recording infrastructures that make experiments at ESS possible and to provide the catalogues, databases and automatic processing capabilities that enable visiting scientist to effectively use their scattering data. To meet this objective we will utilise development effort and expertise from ESS in Lund and Copenhagen staff and in-kind contributing partners from other facilities collaboratively developing open source packages for use at large scale facilities. Description of main responsibilities At data ESS will be mostly coming from neutron event data (in the MHz range) and information from motion and sample environments like temperature controllers (around 1 Hz). The role of the advertised position will be to design and implement software to aggregate data from fast neutron detectors and integrate that with metadata from sample environments, motion, etc. The resulting unified data stream of significant data rate and volume shall be available to a number of subscribers, considering efficient use of computing resources, network bandwidth. The subscribers will then store, process or visualise the data in near real-time. The systems we develop for instrument operations shall be designed to ensure compatibility maximise performance and maintainability. The project should establish a working prototype and develop the system into a product suitable for reliable operations using agile methods and up to date software engineering best practises. The work will be performed in collaboration with the teams from the Neutron Instruments and Neutron Technologies Divisions who are designing the instruments; with the Data Systems and Technologies, Instrument Data, and Data Analysis, Modelling and Simulation Groups within DMSC; and with the Integrated Controls Systems Division in the Machine Directorate at ESS as well external project partners. Qualifications Technical competencies
