As the Software Engineer / Instrumentation Engineer with CSIRO’s National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) business unit, your primary focus will be on software engineering. For success in the role though, you will also draw on your mechanical aptitude and knowledge, and your strong interest in electronics and/or instrumentation. As a member of the Instruments and Electronics Group within the Engineering and Technology Program (E&T), you will provide support to the research vessel in the areas of software development and management, instrumentation integration and repair and scientific equipment advice, operation and maintenance.
The research vessel has a broad range of vessel based scientific instrumentation and advanced deployable equipment used to enable the research of the Australian and International science community. A requirement of the role is to provide up to 85 days per year of seagoing support on voyages that are typically 3 to 8 weeks in duration.
Liaising closely with scientists whilst at sea, you will develop and maintain onboard software, operate and deploy scientific systems, perform electronic fault-finding and repairs, operate and maintain ship-based instrumentation, and provide technical support. Based in the CSIRO Marine Laboratories in Hobart, your onshore role includes development of software to control and operate scientific equipment and systems, maintenance of existing software, repairs and maintenance of instrumentation systems, and the provision of technical advice to stakeholders.
On-the-job training and mentoring will be provided in CSIRO-specific systems and for the seagoing aspect of the role.
