Responsibilities
Plans, designs, integrates, develops, tests, deploys, configures, operates, maintains and documents advanced geophysical (e.g. seismic, geodetic, DAS) data acquisition and quality systems including in cloud and containerized environments. Addresses integration issues with other state and national partners. Locally develops software components and sub-components to achieve fully integrated implementation. Builds and maintains distributed data-processing architectures in containerized and scalable cloud environments. Leads complex integration efforts with statewide and national partners to ensure interoperability and reliable real-time data flow
Plans, designs, integrates, develops, tests, deploys, configures, operates, maintains and documents advanced state-of-health monitoring and alerting tools across multiple systems. Actively uses these tools to monitor in real time the performance of these systems including the geophysical stations, telemetry infrastructure, acquisition systems (from internal and external networks) as well as data timeliness, completeness, and quality. Implements corrective actions, when necessary, including equipment configuration roll-out, software/firmware upgrades, calibrations, instrument adjustments, with the overarching goal of sustaining very high levels of timely data availability and quality. Opens and follows up on tickets when facing issues that cannot be solved within the team. Drafts performance/operational reports for internal and external stakeholders
Manages and maintains configuration of all geophysical stations, data and metadata through tools such as the ANSS Station Information System (SIS), Netbox and NextCloud. Thoroughly test new data before addition to production. Leads and participates in technical collaboration teams and working groups on geophysical data acquisition, monitoring, testing and quality. Renew permits and associated documents related to remote infrastructures and secure new ones, when necessary. Supervise the testing and acceptance of new equipment before deployment at remote stations
Leads team responsible for geophysical data acquisition, monitoring and quality systems, including definition of roles and responsibilities, technical guidance, ensuring that timelines are met and performance assessments. Collaborates with external partners (e.g., state and federal seismic networks) to ensure technical compatibility and operational readiness. Produces and maintains detailed documentation for systems architecture, data flows, integration points, configuration, and operational procedures. Contributes subject-matter expertise to cross-functional engineering and research teams
Analyses and assesses of potential new solutions for data acquisition, data quality, state-of-health monitoring and alerting, including machine-learning-based components. Identifies, evaluates, recommends and leads implementation changes to existing systems, or new systems needed, research and coordinate with internal and external partners to identify solutions
Supervise management of source code and system configuration within the team. Put in place CICD infrastructures including build environment, source code control system and testing framework. Development and maintenance of an automated build process with automatic notification of build and unit test failure problems to responsible staff. Oversees/participates in building scripts, documentation and installation procedures for all software /systems the team is responsible for. Diagnoses performance anomalies and conduct root-cause analysis across interconnected components
