The Senior Electrical Engineer plays a pivotal role in turning the Next-generation Global Observing Network Group (ngGONG) vision into a reliable, operational observatory. As the technical authority for electrical and electronic systems, this role ensures that power, controls, and safety architectures are designed holistically-supporting everything from site infrastructure to precision instrumentation. The decisions made in this position directly impact system reliability, data quality, personnel safety, and long-term maintainability across all ngGONG sites. By providing senior technical leadership and coordinating across disciplines, the Sr EE enables complex systems to function as an integrated whole while balancing performance, cost, schedule, and risk. This role is essential to delivering a robust, scalable telescope design that can operate continuously in remote environments and support cutting-edge solar science for decades to come. The ngGONG project is currently funded for...
