Type: Full time
Location: Pasadena, CA
Job Summary
The Deputy Element Manager (DEM) of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) Wavefront Sensing & Control (WFSC) Element will assume a leadership role in bringing the WFSC subsystems design to full maturity and planning their final integration, test and delivery. The current phase of GMT's WFSC development is opportunity-rich for creative solutions and significant contributions to the detailed design of a cutting edge Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) on the frontiers of astronomy. The WFSC Deputy Element Manager will collaborate with the WFSC Element Manager in oversight of the team responsible for technical work while reporting to the WFSC Element Manager. The DEM will provide leadership in the execution and coordination of technical scope and schedule.. The DEM may transition into the role of WFSC Element Manager following several months in the Deputy Manager role.
The Deputy Element Manager's responsibilities include management and technical oversight of the AO system engineering and the design of the WFSC hardware subsystems under development both internally and by GMTO partner institutions and industrial vendors. The WFSC Deputy Element Manager will collaborate with the WFSC Element Manager to lead completion of the final designs of the seven hardware subsystems. With time the DEM will take ownership of some of the subsystems. The DEM will also provide oversight of the testbed operations, allocation of resources across subsystems and systems engineering activities, planning and tracking of cost, schedule, risks and reporting of earned value to senior management. The WFSC final design phase includes review and update of subsystem requirements as well as maturation of the conceptual plans for assembly, integration, test (AIT) and performance verification of these subsystems and the AO control algorithms in the Adaptive Optics labs in Italy and at GMTO Las Campanas Observatory site.
Job Duties
The Deputy Element Manager of WFSC will:
  • Report to and collaborate with the Wavefront Sensing and Control Element Manager to ensure technical designs are traceable to system-level requirements.
  • Work with the WFSC Senior Project Coordinator to plan, manage and track tasks, resources, and deliverables related to AO subsystem development.

  • Supervise as well as prepare and deliver presentations at GMTO technical gate reviews and conferences.
  • Coordinate with other organizational elements across the GMT Project to mature interfaces and to identify and manage interdependencies between WFSC and other Project elements.
  • Review and understand test results of optical/electronic/mechanical prototypes designed to validate designs and/or burn down performance risks.
  • Own and ensure delivery of WFSC milestones including NSF reports, financial and schedule performance status. Delegate delivery of internal technical documentation of the GMT AO subsystem requirements, design and performance.
  • Participate in the procurement and testing of AO-related subsystems such as wavefront sensors, calibration sources, real-time computer systems and/or laser guide star facility subsystems.
  • Lead the the AO laboratory verification of the performance of the WFSC subsystems and the AO control algorithms correcting for atmospheric disturbances and segment phase piston errors as well as the final site acceptance testing and delivery of AO subsystems to telescope commissioning.
