Station Configuration Specialist - SKA-Low Telescope

Updated: about 12 hours ago

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.

The Traditional Owners and native title holders, the Wajarri Yamaji, have gifted CSIRO with the traditional name Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara for the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, home to the SKA-Low telescope. The traditional name means ‘sharing sky and stars’ in the Wajarri language.

SKA-Low will be the world’s largest low frequency radio telescope, made up of 512 stations. Each SKA-Low station consists of 256 antennas, power distribution and signal processing subsystems, located at the telescope site. The SKA-Low Station Configuration Specialist will be responsible for configuration management activities during the station construction phase.
