Observatory Network (NEON) is a $430 million dollar observatory
project dedicated to understanding how changes in climate, land
use and invasive species impact ecology. For the next three
decades NEON will collect a comprehensive range of ecological data
on a continental scale across 20 eco-climatic domains representing
US ecosystems. NEON will use cutting edge technology including an
airborne observation platform that will capture images of regional
landscapes and vegetation; mobile, re-locatable, and fixed data
collection sites with automated ground sensors to monitor soil and
atmosphere; and trained field crews who will observe and sample
populations of diverse organisms and collect soil and water data.
A leading edge cyber-infrastructure will calibrate, store and
publish this information. The Observatory will grow to 300+
personnel and will be the first of its kind designed to detect and
enable forecasting of ecological change at continental scales.</p>

reports to the Director of Remote Sensing. The AOP Laboratory
Manager has overall responsibility for the laboratory that
maintains and calibrates the NEON remote sensing payloads and
instruments between flight deployments. The AOP Laboratory Manager
is responsible for the delivery of the AOP payload to AOP Flight
Operations. Duties include managing all integration and test of
the payload prior to handoff for flight operations; coordinating
handoff with AOP Flight Operations; managing instrument testing,
calibration, and maintenance; and support of the Flight Operations
as needed. The AOP Laboratory Manager coordinates the electrical,
mechanical, software and thermal engineering support of the
payloads and directs the activities of technicians in the
laboratory. The AOP Laboratory Manager oversees the activities
within the AOP Sensor Test Facility which include functional,
radiometric, spectral, and geometric testing of the AOP remote
sensing instruments; supporting the development, operation, and
acceptance of major test sets in the AOP Sensor Test Facility; and
on-going development and optimization of the payloads to support
flight operations. The AOP Laboratory Manager will work closely
with the AOP science team to develop test procedures for the
calibration and testing of the AOP payloads and with the AOP
Flight Operations team to prepare and maintain the remote sensing
payloads for flight operations.</p>
