Peraton is seeking a Mid/Senior level Software Engineer to support our NOAA customer located in Melbourne, FL. This position will allow for a 100% remote hire, however, a person who is within a commutable distance to the site and can work a hybrid schedule will be preferred.
The GOES-R Program is a four-satellite mission that includes GOES-R (GOES-16, launched in 2016), GOES-S (GOES-17, launched in 2018), GOES-T (GOES-18, launched in 2022), and GOES-U (GOES-19, launched June 2024. The GOES-R program is a collaborative effort between NOAA and NASA. NASA builds and launches the satellites for NOAA, which operates them and distributes their data to users worldwide. The satellites provide critical data for weather forecasts and warnings, detecting and monitoring environmental hazards like fire, smoke, fog, volcanic ash, and dust, and monitoring solar activity and space weather.
GOES-19 continues the advanced imaging, lightning mapping, and space weather monitoring its sister satellites in the GOES-R Series provide and also carries a new space weather monitoring instrument. As part of NOAA’s Space Weather Follow-On Program, the first Compact Coronagraph (CCOR), known as CCOR-1, images the solar corona (the outer layer of the sun’s atmosphere) to help detect and characterize coronal mass ejections (CMEs). CMEs are large expulsions of plasma from the corona and are the primary cause of geomagnetic storms, which can cause widespread damage to power grids, satellites, and communication and navigation systems on Earth.
