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...
