The Department of Wind and Energy Systems at DTU is internationally recognised for its Wind Resource Assessment software and methodologies. We are expanding how users can interact with our models and data and are seeking a Scientific Programmer to make a significant contribution to new tools within our wind resource assessment brand WAsP. In close collaboration with scientific and technical colleagues, you have a direct impact on bringing tools to a global audience and promoting a renewable energy future.
This position is in the Resource Assessment Modelling Section (RAM), located at our Risø campus. The RAM section conducts research related to the assessment of wind resources for wind energy generation and the estimation of loads on wind turbines and various other structures. Working in the RAM section provides you with access to HPC systems, a canteen with healthy lunch options every day, and opportunities to learn more through in-house seminars and the ability to attend conferences and courses.
This position’s primary focus is to work closely with researchers and other programmers to provide utilities that benefit the wind energy community. The work involves the following main areas:
- enhancement of existing and development of new code bases with a focus on documentation, rigorous code testing, and automation of app production and deployment
- communication of the best practices from the world of computer science to the research scientists working in the department
- creation of tools that automate everyday tasks, through means of CI/CD pipelines
- work with researchers to create products from their models and methods
The successful candidate will collaborate with other groups within the Wind Energy Department, in cross-disciplinary projects.
Expectation : Our primary programming language for this position is Python. This position will focus mostly on our PyWAsP and Windkit tools, which heavily rely upon the XArray data format. Additionally, you will work with programmers focused on PyWake and TopFarm, and those working on developing web platforms and APIs. We exclusively use a self-hosted instance of GitLab as our DevOps platform. Besides, being experienced in Python, XArray and Git, we are looking for additional skills from a successful applicant.
