Do Serious Science.
Make a Real Impact.
Join a small, expert team working on the most consequential environmental and defense modeling programs in the country — with the agility of a small business and the depth of mission specialists.
Mission Impact Without the Overhead
At Earthwise System Solutions, you'll work on high-consequence programs — NOAA forecasting systems, NASA Earth science missions, and defense operational systems — as part of a small, deeply expert team.
No bureaucratic layers. No being lost in a large organization. You'll contribute directly to mission-critical deliverables, embedded inside government and prime contractor teams, with the autonomy to do your best work.
What We Look For
ESS looks for people who are technically deep, mission-focused, and capable of integrating rapidly into complex program environments.
Deep Technical Expertise
Specialization in data assimilation, Earth system modeling, observing systems, or scientific computing — with a track record of real program delivery.
Team Integration
Comfortable embedding into existing mission teams — government, academia, and prime contractors — and contributing immediately.
Deliverable-Focused
Driven to produce outputs that move programs forward — not just to participate, but to deliver.
Current Openings
ESS grows through mission need. We're always interested in connecting with qualified scientists and engineers, even when specific positions aren't listed.
Domains We Hire In
- Data assimilation — variational, ensemble, and hybrid methods (3DVar, EnVar, EnKF)
- Earth system modeling — coupled atmosphere, ocean, and sea-ice systems
- Observing system evaluation — OSE and OSSE design and execution
- Satellite and in situ data integration within operational DA workflows
- Forecast diagnostics, uncertainty quantification, and bias analysis
- AI/ML evaluation for scientific and operational systems
- HPC scientific workflows — NOAA, NASA, and DoD computing environments
- Scientific software development and pipeline automation
