Research Data Engineer

As a software developer for the OMEGA cryogenic implosion optimization program, the Software Engineer will build and administer software infrastructure for analyzing and visualizing OMEGA simulation and experimental data, integrating heterogenous data sources, sharing code, and establishing efficient workflows and supports development of new statistical and machine-learning algorithms for analyzing, predicting and designing high performance cryogenic implosions on OMEGA. OMEGA is the lead facility in the world for cryogenic laser direct-drive nuclear fusion experiments. The cryogenic optimization program on OMEGA seeks to optimize and understand implosion experiments on OMEGA in order to credibly scale to ignition and large energy gains on future facilities.
