Job Description:

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. In Australia, the SKAO is collaborating with CSIRO to operate and support the construction of the low frequency telescope (SKA-Low) in remote Western Australia on Wajarri Yamaji Country.

Job Responsibility:

  • Work directly with the telescope hardware and software to install and integrate RF, electronic, optical, and signal processing systems
  • Collaborate with technicians, engineers, and contractors to coordinate technical field activities
  • Diagnose and fix issues across RF, electronic, optical, and signal processing systems to commission and maintain the telescope
  • Use your unique insights as a field deployed engineer to drive real improvements in system design, user interfaces, and operating procedures

Requirements:

  • A tertiary degree in Electrical, Electronic, Communications, RF, or a related engineering field (such as Mechatronics, Aerospace, Computer, or Engineering Physics), or equivalent experience gained through academic, industry, government or similar settings
  • Hands-on experience with RF and mixed-signal systems, including integration or troubleshooting of components like amplifiers, filters, digitisers, or processors
  • Demonstrated ability to systematically identify, diagnose, and resolve issues in complex systems—such as RF chains, signal processing, and control systems
  • A strong commitment to safety and experience working under Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) protocols in technical or field settings
  • Proficient in using software applications to log and report faults and work requests, and to retrieve schematics, drawings, and other technical documentation to support effective troubleshooting

Nice to have:

Preference will be given to Indigenous Australian people and women who meet the role criteria
