The National Solar Observatory (NSO) is a premier research facility dedicated to advancing solar science, operating state‑of‑the‑art telescopes and instrumentation that support both ground‑based and space‑borne solar investigations. NSO leads the development of new ground‑based observatories, collaborates with universities, industry, and government labs to push the boundaries of solar instrumentation, and provides continuous synoptic observations that contextualize solar activity for the broader scientific community. The organization also fosters education and outreach, offering research opportunities for students and developing classroom resources for teachers, while conducting innovative faculty research. Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under a National Science Foundation cooperative agreement, NSO uniquely integrates cutting‑edge technology, scientific leadership, and educational impact to serve the astronomical community worldwide.
The Software Engineer II will develop and maintain high-level observatory software systems, including specialized hardware like scientific cameras and motion control systems.
