About The Position
At BNL, the Energy & Photon Sciences (EPS) Directorate is working to solve grand challenges that will create solutions and security for the nation's energy system. Advances in basic science are the underpinning of transformational discoveries that rely on Brookhaven's data-driven research, cutting-edge synchrotron science, and leadership in energy science through real-time study of applicable energy materials in working conditions. As part of the capabilities and science focus of the EPS, the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a state-of-the-art medium energy 3 GeV (3-billion-electron-volt) electron storage ring. The facility offers scientific and industrial researchers an array of instruments (beamlines) using x-ray, ultraviolet, and infrared light to enable discoveries in clean and affordable energy, high-temperature superconductivity, molecular electronics, and more. The Data Science and Systems Engineering Division (DSSI) of the NSLS-II currently has a full-time opportunity for a Liaison Engineer. The selected candidates will have a background in a relevant engineering discipline, or equivalent experience in technical project management. A key part of the role will be to work with division staff in the execution of software and hardware development projects for the world-leading NSLS-II facility. These projects will develop a set of tools to standardize and control the roll out of software and hardware at the NSLS-II beamlines and accelerator and improve the flow and processing of data from the beamline detectors to storage and user analysis. This work will involve working with a diverse team of scientists, engineers and other professionals. The work will also entail working as part of a small project teams, including the organization of sprints and the appropriate reviews and replanning as work progresses. Part of the role of the Liaison Engineer will be to wok as a Control Account Manager (CAM). The role will require excellent interpersonal and communication skills and organizational proficiency to ensure that projects are completed on schedule and within budget.
