Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our12,000employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge?Then this is your place!

The Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IPA) at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) conducts research into the physics and chemistry of the global atmosphere from the ground up to 120 kilometres altitude.

What to expect

The Applied Meteorology Department conducts research on thunderstorms, wake vortices, noise, wind energy, gravity waves, and turbulence. On the one hand, the goal is to understand and predict the relevant dynamic processes in the boundary layer and the upper atmosphere. On the other hand, the department develops analysis and forecast products tailored for aviation and wind energy, bringing them to the point of practical application. The goal of this position is to advance the development of very short-term thunderstorm forecasts (nowcasting) from the academic research stage to practical application in the innovative air mobility. To this end, adjustments will be made to existing forecasting tools, particularly with regard to the requirements of innovative air mobility, such as the spatiotemporal resolution, forecast horizon, and technical usability.

Your tasks

• Advancement of short-term thunderstorm forecasts to the innovative air mobility, bringing academic research to practical application:
• Application-oriented further development and technical execution of thunderstorm forecasts
• Expansion of the available thunderstorm forecasting tools to an integrated software package

Your profile

• Completed university degree (Bachelor's/University of Applied Sciences) in computer science, scientific computing, data science, or a comparable field
• Interest in the (innovative) air mobility, atmospheric physics (particularly thunderstorms)
• Proven, long-standing experience in computer science, scientific computing, data science, or a comparable field
• Excellent knowledge of Python programming
• In-depth knowledge of software engineering, including tools
• Extensive experience in machine learning
• Good written and spoken English

Depending on qualifikation and assignment of tasks, remuneration will be up to pay grade EG12 TVöd Bund.

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.

We look forward to getting to know you!
