Conduct geo-coastal processes analysis and site assessment to evaluate coastal and geologic hazards, potential impacts, and mitigation strategies along Washington’s high energy ocean coast as well as the sheltered shorelines of coastal estuaries and the Salish Sea.
Develop and test natural and nature-based alternatives to conventional coastal structures and incorporate results into engineering design guidelines and best practices.
Provide coastal engineering consulting services, design review, recommendations, and technical assistance to Tribes, local governments, and a range of other partners for natural and nature-based approaches, slope stabilization, shoreline restoration, beach nourishment, and beach access projects to address changing coastal conditions and environmental impacts.
Write, review, and evaluate proposals, scientific documents, and technical guidance in support of shoreline planning, permitting, and other resource management activities.
Communicate Washington State’s Applied Coastal Research and Engineering team’s work, through presentations and written documents, to a range of local partners as well as the Coastal Engineering professional community.

Job Summary
Engineer I The employees occupying positions of this class are responsible for performing and resolving routine civil engineering tasks and problems working within established guidelines applying generally known and accepted engineering standards. The Engineer I is an entry level engineer position. These employees operate from an office or in the field performing work under the supervision of an administrative supervisor. This is the first step in a career progression that continues to the Engineer II position and the Engineer III position. Engineer II employees work on more complex engineering tasks with less supervision and Engineer III employees manage the most complex engineering projects and are Certified Professional Engineers. Engineer II The employees occupying the positions of this class are responsible for performing and resolving technical and complex civil engineering tasks and problems within the framework of broad engineering and administrative guidelines. The Engineer II position is the second step in a career progression that begins with Engineer I and ends with Engineer III. Engineer II employees perform tasks with limited supervision and require substantial use of independent judgment within the scope of advanced engineering assignments. Engineer I employees perform basic engineer work under the supervision of an administrative supervisor. Engineer III employees manage the more technical engineering projects and are Certified Professional Engineers. Engineer III This is professional level engineering work for the Department of Community Development. Within general parameters established by management, the employees occupying positions of this class perform complex technical work in a specialized phase of engineering. The Engineer III requires specialized knowledge in an area of engineering and requires the use of independent judgment to resolve complex or unique problems. To progress to the Engineer III level the employee must become a Certified Professional Engineer. This is the third step in a career progression that starts at the Engineer I level.

Knowledge of C and/or C++.
Knowledge of UNIX or Linux.
Understanding of L2/L3 networking including at least one of the following areas is desirable:
IP routing protocols, such as RIP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, or PIM.
Layer 2 features such as 802.1d bridging, the 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol, the 802.1ax Link Aggregation Control Protocol, the 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol, or RFC 1812 IP routing.
Ability to utilize, test, and debug packet forwarding engine and a hardware component’s vendor provided software libraries in your solutions.
Infrastructure functions related to distributed systems such as messaging, signalling, databases, and command line interface techniques.
Hands on experience in the design and development of ethernet bridging or routing related software or distributed systems software is desirable.
