Internship & Career Opportunities

Looking to contribute to public health and protect Californians from the harmful effects of air pollution and climate change? Join our team and make a difference in the lives of Californians through innovative technology solutions and a commitment to public health.The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is a dynamic and innovative leader in setting and implementing controls to protect and improve air quality for the citizens of California. CARB's scientific and technical programs rely extensively on data and information systems. The mission of CARB's Office of Information Services (OIS) is to leverage the most effective information technologies available to achieve CARB's program goals. This mission includes ensuring that such technologies are professionally managed, properly maintained and secured, and efficiently utilized.The OIS Science and Technology Section (STS) provides science and technology-based expertise to promote the use of technologies to address increasingly complex, multifaceted technology and environmental issues. STS is tasked with maintaining CARB’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) modeling cluster housed at the CA State Data Center. This HPC cluster supports CARB’s regulatory State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Toxics modeling efforts, as well as CARB’s Natural and Working Lands efforts. CARB’s HPC consists of many smaller computers networked together in a Linux environment to provide significantly higher performance than any single computer could deliver.Job Description and Duties:STS is currently looking for a Staff Air Pollution Specialist (SAPS) to work in a team to maintain, implement and improve technologies at the HPC. In addition to current workload, CARB recently received funding to expand the use of the HPC to additional users, requiring the consideration of technologies and processes to more efficiently manage HPC resources. New workload includes the migration of data to additional platforms for staging subsets of HPC data on a public facing interface for various CARB programs. The SAPS will help facilitate novel data sharing avenues for internal/external stakeholders from on-premises HPC to Cloud-based data management and sharing practices through coordination with the OIS-security team and end users. The SAPS will facilitate creative solutions for redundant data backup in the cloud to comply with the agency’s long-term data-retention policies of various CARB programs. The SAPS will work closely with various HPC users and stakeholders to coordinate and manage resources, consider workload priorities, and establish schedules of usage. This includes the installation of hardware and software at the HPC.You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement. Working Conditions This position may be eligible for hybrid in-office work and in-state telework.
