RFI & EMC Engineer - Square Kilometre Array Low Telescope (SKA-Low)
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is a next-generation global radio-astronomy facility that will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics. It is one observatory with two telescopes – SKA-Low in Western Australia and SKA-Mid in South Africa. Under the collaboration agreement with SKAO, CSIRO is offering the position of RFI & EMC Engineer for SKA-Low, which will form a critical link between the SKAO HQ and the SKA-Low telescope project in Western Australia.
Leading a team of RFI engineers and technicians, and as a member of the SKA-Low Site Management Team, you will address RFI & EMC management and control under guidance from SKAO HQ. Initially the focus of the position will be on the construction phase, including compliance of equipment and overall compliance of the SKA to its own and the MRO’s RFI/EMC standards, but over time this will transition to the ongoing monitoring, analysis and control during the operations phase. As part of the wider SKAO RFI group, you will communicate on RFI and EMC related SKA-Low activities, and work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders to help ensure the long-term quality of the MRO site.
CSIRO's Space and Astronomy BU and the SKAO are committed to providing a safe and inclusive workplace culture and implementing initiatives to improve diversity and equity within our workplaces. Consideration will be given to performing this role on either a full-time or job-share basis.
