Devops engineer Jobs in Geesthacht

Within the framework of a Helmholtz infrastructure development program, the marine research centres of the Helmholtz Association HEREON, AWI and GEOMAR are jointly developing new cutting-edge ocean research techniques and equipment. The central objective is the development of marine environmental robotics and sensors for sustainable marine exploration, with a strong focus on the preservation and management of our planet's coasts, seas and polar regions.

The Air-Sea Fluxes group at the Institute of Coastal Ocean Dynamics conducts laboratory- and field-based research, by developing and deploying unique, novel high-resolution imaging systems to investigate submillimeter-scale turbulent dynamics in multiphase environments such as the ocean surface. Quantifying energy and scalar fluxes across the air-sea interface is crucial for a number of environmental challenges, including weather, climate and sea state forecasting.

We are looking for an engineer for the development, testing and operation of a small autonomous research platform, equipped with a suite of measurement systems for lower atmosphere and upper ocean dynamics. We invite applications for an Engineering position in the area of Ocean Measurement Technology. The position is limited to two years, starting as soon as possible.

Equal opportunity is an important part of our personnel policy. We would therefore strongly encourage qualified women to apply for the position. In principle, the full time position (39 h / week) is also shareable.
