**The opportunity**:
The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is a next-generation radio astronomy facility that will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics. Enabled by cutting-edge technology, it promises to have a major impact on society, in science and beyond.

The CSIRO Assembly, Integration and Verification (AIV) team is integrating the complex digital and RF electronic systems into the SKA LOW Telescope Signal Chain and then verifying the Telescope to defined Level 1 requirements.

In this role, you will initially be part of the AIV team and work with the SKAO Science Operations team before transitioning fully to the SKAO team on completion of the construction project.
This role will evolve as the SKA-Low telescope is built.
During the construction phase, this role will be responsible for developing and commissioning observations for integration and verification events and supporting the science commissioning teams.
Observing during this phase is expected to be outside of traditional working hours.
Once construction is complete, this role will be responsible for the day-to-day observing of the SKA-Low telescope and providing analysis of the initial telescope data.
Observing during this phase is expected to be 24/7 with the team working shift patterns.

The role has an opportunity to potentially contribute to the development of science operations.

Applicants wishing to explore part time or job share working are openly encouraged to discuss their individual need for flexibility or specific working patterns during the recruitment process.

**Your duties will include**:

- Conduct, monitor and calibrate astronomical observations and use appropriate computing resources towards successful operation of the telescope array releases.
- Assist with system checks, maintenance handovers, array and correlator/beamformer configurations and setups.
- Undertake quality assurance of continuum, time domain and spectral line data obtained from early array releases using existing low frequency data sets, such as from the MWA or AAVS.
- Contribute to the design and documenting of operating procedures for SKAO.
- Support communication between engineering and technical staff and scientific stakeholders.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues, both within the AIV team and Science Operations Team and across the multi-disciplinary roles of the broader construction and operations activities.
- Adhere to the values of CSIRO and promote an inclusive workplace.
- Other duties as required.
