Senior Software Engineer mf The Mission The Pipeline Systems Department in the Directorate of Engineering DoE is developing the VLT and VLTI data reduction pipelines for the operational instruments at La Silla Paranal observatory. The data reduction pipelines are used in two operational environments, by the ESO Data Flow Operations at Garching, and by the Paranal Science Operations PSO, for the quicklook assessment of data, the healthmonitoring of instruments and detectors, the generation of master calibration data, the reduction of scientific exposures, and data quality control. The Challenge The work involves the preparation of data reduction procedures for the ESO VLT pipelines, and the implementation of these parts in ANSIC with the ESOCPL library for information, see www.eso.orgcpl and www.eso.orgpipelines and the HighLevel Data Reduction Library HDRL. The Exposure Time Calculators are a suite of Web applications provided for the ESO Call for Proposals. The total usage of the system peaks to about 35 000 simulation runs during the Call for Proposals periods in March and September each year httpwww.eso.orgobservingetc. The work involves maintenance and development of C and Python ETC Web applications for the VLT and VLT Interferometer VLTI.
