Lemont, United States Argonne National Laboratory Full time

Argonne National Laboratory is a Department of Energy national laboratory with over 1,500 scientists and engineers performing world-class research aimed at solving the nation's energy, environmental and security challenges. Argonne is located 25 miles southwest of Chicago on a beautiful 1,500-acre campus.

The Decision and Infrastructure Sciences (DIS) Division researches, designs, and delivers scientific tools and methodologies to inform decision-making regarding the most challenging security, risk, and resilience problems. DIS experts have developed methods to understand dependencies and interdependencies within and across infrastructure systems, strengthen infrastructure security and resilience, and respond to emergencies. As a multidisciplinary national laboratory, Argonne offers an exciting atmosphere in which to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects that focus on complex technical problems and integrated application of natural, social, and computer science practices.

To support our research mission, DIS is seeking a geospatial software developer to support our growing need for exciting geospatial data visualizations and web-based solutions.

In this position, you will:

  • Convert geospatial data into web-based dashboards and visualizations to support our emergency management portfolio
  • Develop web-based data visualizations to support analyses and solution identification. This may include creating static data visuals (graphs, charts, presentations) as well as cloud-based, interactive data visualizations.
  • Perform front-end development for web-based geospatial applications
  • Develop back-end processing and automation of tools and applications
  • Explain trends, patterns, and findings from their analyses to sponsors, requiring excellent written and verbal communication
  • Works with data sets of different size/scale/completeness to address challenging, non-routine analytic questions, applying a range of appropriate methods.
  • Follow UI/UX best practices
This position requires a hybrid schedule, blending on-site and remote work; on-site presence will be required at the Argonne campus in Lemont, Illinois each week.

Position Requirements
  • The selected candidates will have professional experience in developing and maintaining databases, dashboards, and decision support tools.
  • Bachelor's degree completed in computer science, geography, or information systems
  • Minimum of 3 years' experience in web-based geospatial mapping
  • Experience with ESRI's suite of tools - ArcGIS API for Javascript or comparable framework for creating web mapping applications (mapbox, leaflet, etc...)
  • Experience with libraries for handling geospatial data (GDAL, Geopandas, Turf.js, Postgis, etc.)
  • Experience with handling multiple data formats (CSV, JSON, XML, XLSX, HDF)
  • Experience with relational databases (Postgres, SQL Server, MySQL, Access)
  • Experience with containerization and deployment technologies (Docker, CI/CD)
  • Experience with cloud-computing services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud)
  • Experience with a range of programming languages and associated libraries: General-purpose programming (Python, Java, C#), Web-related programming (HTML5, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, etc.), Modern web frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, Express, Flask, Django, etc.), Data science languages (Python, R, Julia) and associated libraries, Version control and automation tools (Git, Bash, PowerShell, CMD)
  • Strong project management practices and the ability to meet deadlines
  • Good communication skills including the ability to translate technical information into plain language
  • Ability to apply critical thinking skills to achieve novel and creative solutions to complex data problems
  • A successful candidate must have the ability to model Argonne's Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.
  • Ability to make our laboratory a safe, welcoming, inclusive, and accessible environment where all can thrive.
  • To perform the essential functions of this position successful applicants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship and may be required to obtain a "Q" clearance, which is required to comply with federal regulations and contract.
This position can be hired at one of two levels; the selected candidate will be placed at the appropriate level (RD1 or RD2) dependent upon the depth and breadth of relevant knowledge and skills. The minimum requirements of the two levels are as follows:
  • RD1: Bachelors and 0+ years' experience, Masters and 0+ years' experience, or equivalent
