[ANSS-netops] IT Specialist positions at the USGS (Menlo Park, Pasadena, and Seattle)

[Valerie Thomas]

Hi All,
USGS has three positions open for IT Specialists, one each in Seattle, 
Pasadena, and Menlo Park - see below.  Please feel free to apply and/or 
distribute to anyone who you think might be interested.

Best regards,
Valerie

The USGS Earthquake Science Center (Menlo Park, Pasadena, and Seattle 
Offices) are hiring IT Specialists to support the mission of the 
Earthquake Early Warning Project.



The USGS is seeking IT professionals with experience and skill operating 
and maintaining software, hardware, and operating systems in a Linux 
environment.  Applicants who have experience with Linux operating 
systems, modern code management tools, and modern operating systems 
maintenance protocols will receive consideration for this opportunity.  
The successful candidates will support the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early 
Warning (EEW) system (shakealert.org <http://shakealert.org/>), a 
mission-critical, distributed system that rapidly detects earthquakes 
and generates and issues alerts to institutional users and the public.


The position is part of a USGS-university team that operates and 
maintains the ShakeAlert system; a 24/7 Earthquake Early Warning 
system.  We are designing it to distribute rapid warnings of expected 
strong shaking when an earthquake occurs. ShakeAlert is a 
multi-organization cooperative project to build and operate a public EEW 
system for the California, Oregon and Washington.

ShakeAlert is a complex set of geographically distributed machines and 
modules that intercommunicate via a message broker.  It generates 
real-time earthquake products that are distributed via public-facing 
servers. ShakeAlert interacts with other complex USGS-supported systems 
including the ANSS Quake Management System (AQMS) and Earthworm.  All 
work is accomplished in a Linux and open-source environment. The 
operational setting includes real-time data streams from hundreds of 
field sensors telemetered over a heterogeneous WAN, many distributed 
servers running application codes and scripts, and transactions with 
Oracle and MySQL databases.

Openings for these full-time, permanent positions (GS-2210-9/11/12) 
exist at the Menlo Park, Pasadena, and Seattle offices of the Earthquake 
Science Center.  US citizenship is required.  Only online applications 
will be accepted.  The federal government is an equal opportunity 
employer. Please, apply only if you have experience that is relevant to 
this opportunity.


The deadline for applications is Monday, June 13.
