National Radio Astronomy Observatory · Socorro, NM, United States
Skills: Python, Java, CI/CD
Position Description: Position Summary
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is a prestigious research and development organization that plays a vital role in the study of the universe. Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI) is a nonprofit organization that manages and operates the NRAO under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. The Observatory is a hub for technological and scientific collaboration, operating state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. The Observatory has been instrumental in the study of black holes, galaxies, and the early universe.
At NRAO, we are recruiting an experienced Software Engineer to join the Correlator team within the Monitor & Control (M&C) group. The correlators combine the signals from the telescope array, and include the WIDAR correlator and the cluster-based DiFX software correlator. The correlator team is responsible for the software ecosystem around the correlators: gathering input data, correlator configuration and control, standardization of the output, as well as cluster management for the software correlator. The correlator team also contributes to the design of correlation systems for the next generation Very Large Array (ngVLA).
This position can be based in Socorro, NM, Albuquerque, NM, Charlottesville, VA or Green Bank, WV. For well qualified candidates, a remote work arrangement may be considered.
What You Will be Doing: The primary focus of this position will be designing, developing, and maintaining software that interfaces with correlator hardware and the computing systems around it. You will work with senior software engineers, electronics engineers, and scientific staff to refine requirements, design and implement solutions, and document and support them in operations. Activities may include (but are not limited to):
Developing and maintaining software that configures, controls, and monitors correlator hardware, including low- …truncated…
