Software Developer/Engineer

The Role

Applications are invited for a Software Engineer in real-time control for Adaptive Optics (AO) systems for the business clients of FE. The successful candidate will join the existing real-time control team working on these systems.

Within this team, the candidate will be involved in all aspects of the development of the real-time control system.

Software Engineer Roles and Responsibilities will include:

Working on low latency ‘hard’ real-time control system for both HARMONI and MOSAIC, implementing and optimizing the various adaptive optics control schemes required by the instruments on the selected hardware architecture.

Development of the data, telemetry, command, and control interfaces to match standards required by the observatory.

Working with a wide variety of hardware devices including high-speed cameras and deformable mirrors, and the candidate will be expected to develop and test software interfaces to these hardware devices.

The applicant will also be expected to contribute to CfAI’s ongoing research program developing new software for techniques and technologies that will enable the next generation of adaptive optics real-time control systems. These will be for use not only within astronomy but also in other fields such as laser communications or microscopy where adaptive optics can be used. The applicant will behave the opportunity to contribute to high-quality publications in refereed journals as a result of participating in new research areas within the field of real-time AO control.

When working on large instrumentation projects such as HARMONI and MOSAIC the applicant will be expected to contribute to any project deliverables (such as preparing design documentation or user manuals) and adhere to project software development standards.

This post is fixed-term for 2 years to coincide with the duration of our existing funding. There is the possibility for extension beyond this period if additional funding can be secured.

The Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has altogether expanded the intrigue of engineering studies, an overview of 300 youngsters aged 20-25, started by Afeka College of Engineering in Tel Aviv has found. The study, directed to agree with the fifth Afeka Conference for the Development of a National Human Capital Strategy in Engineering that will occur online on July 20, found that the coronavirus emergency prompted a half increment in the readiness to study engineering compared with the period before the emergency. This is likely because of the word related stability that the job provides, the low instability comparable to different parts of the economy, and the level of pay that remaining parts high even in the midst of an emergency. Israel is on course to deliver enough engineers to close its longstanding shortfall. However "if we don't change the way in which we teach them, they won't meet the quality that is looked for by the job market" as today, "enginee

Toward the end of an introduction on BP's yearly energy outlook a year ago, a petroleum engineering student from Greece asked, "Is a job as a petroleum engineer a smart thought for the next decade?" Is petroleum engineering demand increasing? At that point, BP CEO Bob Dudley reacted by saying, "work or training as an engineer of any sort is so significant. There will be an immense requirement for that as should be obvious from Spencer's outlook." He was alluding to the presentation made by Spencer Dale, group chief economist for BP, whose outlook indicated oil demand likely developing until 2030, and staying around 100 million B/D through 2050 while natural gas demand keeps on rising. In any case, what a number of oilfield engineers will be working in the decades ahead? A short JPT online story about that question hit a nerve with readers. It was one of the most-read stories online over the previous year, with 21,000 views. The most downloaded SPE p

In case you're thinking about entering the industry, or hoping to recruit "customary" workers, here are five skills organizations will need to see. 1. Fundamental computer skills. IT is an incredibly managed industry. Furthermore, in that capacity, "most workers [in this industry] will enter data into a state-run stock or POS system or considerably other automated hardware", while others will depend on Microsoft products, for example, Word, Excel, and Azure. Whatever the position, plan to be educated. "Most employment opportunities [ask for] great technical computer skills ". 2. Availability. If you've ever worked in a cutoff time-driven or retail sales work, you realize business values your capacity to take the path of working more enthusiastically when the workload calls for it. "In the IT market, there are recurring patterns". It tends to be truly moderate in one-week and insane the next week— based on occasions and the new pro
