Job Description
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is a revolutionary radio astronomy facility that will transform our understanding of the Universe and its laws.
In Australia, we are collaborating with SKAO to operate and support the construction of the low-frequency telescope (SKA-Low) in remote Western Australia on Wajarri Yamaji Country.
You will work within the Assembly, Integration and Verification (AIV) team, contributing to the integration and testing of SKA-Low—being built on Wajarri Yamaji Country in remote Western Australia.
As the AIV System Scientist (Integration and Verification), you will lead the development of system-level integration and verification plans and provide technical guidance across the team. Your work will ensure that all telescope components come together seamlessly.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and execute the Systems AIV Plan aligned with SKAO's Integration & Verification Strategy.
* Define and manage the Continuous Integration & Verification flow, including signal chain validation and use case development.
* Develop performance analysis tools (e.g., Python, CASAcore) and diagnose system-level issues across the SKA-Low Telescope and ITF.
* Represent AIV in product integration, supplier and internal training, system acceptance, and milestone reviews.
* Collaborate across global, multi-disciplinary teams using Lean Agile processes to plan, prioritise, and deliver project outcomes.
* Build strong stakeholder relationships and share best practices for telescope characterisation and performance evaluation.
