Job Summary:
Are you an acoustic engineer looking for a role that gets you out in nature? Are you early in your career and looking for a position that will get you training and experience? We want to talk to you!
The purpose of this position is to provide observation and acoustic engineering support to the NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL). A coastal observation network with nodes on Lakes Michigan, Superior, Huron, and Erie has been developed that encompasses the Buoys and offshore structures of the Real-time Coastal Observation Network (ReCON) and uncrewed air, surface and underwater systems (UxS) to provide continuous observations of environmental parameters. The system currently supports projects addressing harmful algal bloom (HAB) detection, human health observations related to beach closures and drinking water processing concerns, rip current warnings, physical observations supporting US Coast Guard, commercial, and public information needs, and year-round ecosystem research.
This is a full-time position that offers a competitive salary and benefits package. If you are an engineer with a passion for science and the outdoors, we want to hear from you!
Responsibilities Include:
- Deploying uncrewed underwater and surface systems (UxS) including mission planning, system deployment/retrieval, piloting, sensor installation, data retrieval, data processing, and reporting to project leaders
