AURA/NSO is hiring for a Senior Controls Engineer (Sr CE) to provide senior technical leadership and end-to-end controls engineering expertise for the ngGONG telescope design project. This role is responsible for the ngGONG-wide controls and electronics architecture, spanning facility and rack-level power distribution and electrical/electronic/control systems for telescopes, instruments, safety, and observatory electronics. The Sr CE leads and contributes to the design of complex electronics control systems; manages assigned controls/electronic design work packages; and collaborates closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, scientists, site/facility stakeholders, and external partners. The position solves complex controls and coordination challenges and supports project cost, schedule, risk, safety, and technical performance objectives throughout the design lifecycle. This position supports the currently funded design phase of ngGONG and is expected to continue into...

The Mechanical Engineer III is a critical contributor to the success of the Next-Generation Global Observing Network Group (ngGONG) design project, bridging detailed mechanical engineering with system-level observatory performance. By leading the design of key mechanical subsystems, this role ensures that telescope and instrumentation hardware meets demanding requirements for precision, stability, and long-term reliability. Working in close partnership with the Principal Mechanical Engineer and cross-disciplinary teams, the ME3 helps translate complex scientific and system requirements into practical, manufacturable designs. The quality and rigor of this work directly influence the performance, serviceability, and longevity of ngGONG's observatory systems-making this role essential to delivering a world-class solar observing capability. The ngGONG project is currently funded for a three-year design phase, with the potential for additional funding contingent upon selection to...

The Senior Optical Engineer for ngGONG plays a central role in shaping the optical performance of the National Solar Observatory's Next-Generation Global Oscillation Network Group (ngGONG). This international initiative is currently in the design phase and will modernize NSO's global network of ground-based solar observatories, enabling continuous, high-quality observations that advance solar physics and space weather research. As ngGONG moves through critical design milestones, strong optical leadership is essential. The Senior Optical Engineer leads the design, analysis, and integration of telescope and instrument optical systems, ensuring they meet demanding scientific requirements while remaining manufacturable, alignable, and cost-effective. This role directly influences the scientific capability, reliability, and long-term success of the observatory as it transitions from design into construction and commissioning. The ngGONG project is currently funded for a three-year...
