Weather Scientist (Numerical Weather Prediction)

LOCATION: BENGALURU (PRIMARY). OTHER LOCATION: NEW DELHI.

We are hiring a Weather Data Scientist to advance the next generation of weather forecasting systems for India, with strong attention to observational data quality and geospatial consistency. You will work closely with machine learning and software engineers on two core threads:

• Numerical weather prediction: run regional NWP models to generate high-resolution forecasts and training data.
• Data assimilation: contribute hands-on to data assimilation for weather forecasting models.
• ML-ready datasets: procure, process, and create ML-ready global and regional weather datasets at large scale (high volume, multi-source, long time horizons), with explicit focus on data-sparse regions.

• Build and benchmark next-generation multiscale, regional, and global forecasting systems against reanalysis and observations, with particular focus on nowcasting and extreme events. The work rests on careful treatment of station, radar, satellite, and other observational data, and on geospatial alignment to model grids.
