Beschreibung

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF) and funded by federal and state government.

AWI focuses on polar and marine research in a variety of disciplines such as biology, oceanography, geology, geochemistry and geophysics thus allowing multidisciplinary approaches to scientific goals.

Dataflow / Workflow designer (M/F/d)

Background
You will be a dataflow/workflow designer (M/F/d) who conceptually develops, standardizes and

automates our research data flows using modern technologies and digitalization tools to enable sustainable data usage.

The Alfred Wegener Institute globally operates research platforms such as Neumayer-Station III in Antarctica, research vessels Polarstern, Heincke, Mya II and Uthörn and polar research aircraft Polar 5 & Polar 6.

Additionally, there are hundreds of stationary, mobile, drifting or moored instruments and AWI observatories.

Each of these platforms is recording environmental parameters in water, on land, in the air and on ice contributing essentially to earth systems science.

Our standards are that these scientifically recorded measurement data are reliably, metadata driven and digitally ingested by our data acquisition systems.

These systems transfer the recorded data fast and secure to onshore data storage facilities for long-term storage following FAIR principles to be reusable for future generations.

We, the "Data Logistics Support (DLS)"-team establish data workflows from research platforms to AWI's data centre in a collaborative manner together with scientists to grant sustainable raw and metadata to ensure the re-usability of data.

Tasks

As a dataflow/workflow designer you will have the opportunity to create blueprints for common use cases within the scope of AWI's data flow framework O2A (observation to archive) in order to standardize processes for users and technical operators.

Together with stakeholders (mainly scientists) you will identify and define recurrent use cases which then you will conceptually design, prototype, implement and document to create re-usable, standardized data flows.

To establish these workflows a variety of virtualization infrastructure, collaborative tools, apps and services can be used.

Your tasks:

Identification, selection and definition of recurrent use cases such as:
Raw and meta data flows between research platforms and campaigns to O2A infrastructure
Collaborative data access and processing within O2A infrastructure
Automated workflows such as SOP (standard operation procedures)
Automated distribution or visualization of data from O2A infrastructure to users and systems such as Mapviewer, portals, etc.
Conception and implementing of standardized blue prints for selected use cases, i

Communication and coordination of requirements with stakeholders from science user group by organizing meetings and workshops
Conception of futureproof interfaces for O2AtoO2A and O2Atothirdparty flows
Prototyping of concepts

Planning of resources regarding staff-related, technical and financial restrictions Sub-contracting third-party service providers e. g. for supplying SOP

Documentation of dataflows and workflows for users and operators
Communication and coordination with colleagues and user community
Technical support for (multi)national working groups such as DAM, Marehub, NFDI
Presentation of concepts on multinational conferences and workshops

Requirements:

Master in Computer Science / IT technology or comparable qualified expertise
Perennial work experience
Very good skills in software development in languages such as Python, Java or Javascript
Very good skills in Linux and Linux shell
Very good skills in common scientific research data formats such as NetCDF, GeoTIFF, JSON
Good skills in relational database systems, SQL
Good skills in scientific and technical systems on board of research platforms
Very good communication skills and teamwork is required, also in remote work (or hybrid) work environments
Good command of German and English
Friendly, personable appearance, reliability and good manners in an international work environment
Good presentation skills and experience on multinational meetings / conferences

Additional skills and knowledge

Preferably experience in management and processing of environmental research data
Preferably experience in development of mobile apps
