Engineer/Architectural Manager

University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill • United States, United States • 3w ago

Employment Type: Permanent Staff (EHRA NF)

Vacancy ID: NF0009412

Salary Range: 76,300-138,000

Position Summary/Description:

The Argus Array will be the first very large optical telescope array and has a field of view encompassing the entire sky at once. As an Engineer for the Argus Array project, you will be responsible for the design, development, and integration of critical components that enable the array's unique capabilities. The position's responsibilities will be designing, refining, integrating and managing the construction of Argus systems including the overall building systems, the cupola window and associated electromechanical systems, and other components of the telescope.

You will work closely with our team of astronomers, telescope-instrumentalists, and data scientists to implement and optimize these systems for the world's largest optical telescope array and the largest digital camera ever built; there are also potential mentorship roles for graduate and undergraduate student teams. This position involves both hands-on engineering and working with external vendors, including responsibility for on-site decision making during key parts of the construction process. Our project management philosophy emphasizes a small and local team; flat management structure; and a highly-collaborative working environment. We routinely produce proto@types and complex hardware in-house, and expect to perform significant hands-on engineering for Argus subsystems. This position includes spending time at the telescope construction site, with responsibility for on-site decision making as needed. The expected timescale for this position is two years, with possibility of extension to further projects.
