<br>
Please help us spread the word about an IT position open with the USGS<br>
office in Pasadena, and apply if you are interested!<br>
<br>
The USGS Earthquake Science Center Pasadena Offices is hiring IT<br>
Specialists to support the mission of the Earthquake Early Warning Project.<br>
<br>
<br>
The USGS is seeking IT professionals with experience and skill operating<br>
and maintaining software, hardware, and operating systems in a Linux<br>
environment. Applicants who have experience with Linux operating<br>
systems, modern code management tools, and modern operating systems<br>
maintenance protocols will receive consideration for this opportunity.<br>
The successful candidates will support the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early<br>
Warning (EEW) system (<a href="http://shakealert.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">shakealert.org</a>), a mission-critical, distributed<br>
system that rapidly detects earthquakes and generates and issues alerts<br>
to institutional users and the public.<br>
<br>
The position is part of a USGS-university team that operates and<br>
maintains the ShakeAlert system; a 24/7 Earthquake Early Warning<br>
system. We are designing it to distribute rapid warnings of expected<br>
strong shaking when an earthquake occurs. ShakeAlert is a<br>
multi-organization cooperative project to build and operate a public EEW<br>
system for the California, Oregon and Washington.<br>
<br>
ShakeAlert is a complex set of geographically distributed machines and<br>
modules that intercommunicate via a message broker. It generates<br>
real-time earthquake products that are distributed via public-facing<br>
servers. ShakeAlert interacts with other complex USGS-supported systems<br>
including the ANSS Quake Management System (AQMS) and Earthworm. All<br>
work is accomplished in a Linux and open-source environment. The<br>
operational setting includes real-time data streams from hundreds of<br>
field sensors telemetered over a heterogeneous WAN, many distributed<br>
servers running application codes and scripts, and transactions with<br>
Oracle and MySQL databases.<br>
<br>
The opening for this full-time, permanent position (GS-2210-9/11/12) is<br>
at the Pasadena office of the Earthquake Science Center. US citizenship<br>
is required. Only online applications will be accepted. The federal<br>
government is an equal opportunity employer. Please, apply only if you<br>
have experience that is relevant to this opportunity.<br>
<br>
The deadline for applications is no later than Wednesday, January 4, 2017.<br>
<br>
