Job Description:
The Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) is located
12 miles west of the OHSU main campus, and sits on 162 acres of
land featuring forested areas, research and administration
buildings, indoor and outdoor animal housing, a pond, and 2-mile
perimeter walking path. Our mission is to improve human health and
the quality of life through the support of nonhuman primate
research programs that advance our knowledge of the causes,
preventions, treatments, and cures of debilitating diseases.
The Sr. Research Engineer collaborates with ONPRC Animal Resources
and Research Support (ARRS), research core and nonhuman primate
(NHP) resource, and research division personnel to create
customized software solutions and infrastructure supporting
comparative medicine, research core and NHP resource operation,
research in the scientific divisions, and, as appropriate,
administrative operations. The position develops, implements, and
maintains innovative computational methods and
resources/microservices to facilitate improvements in work
efficiency, quality and/or human factors, and work-design and
process innovation, specifically to automate data entry and
retrieval procedures to reduce keyboard time, link disparate data
sources, and redirect personnel effort to tasks requiring human
activity. In general, these improvements include solutions not
possible with existing information technology and systems, and that
replace, extend, or enhance existing systems. This position directs
and provides the effort to provide the conceptual design,
prototyping, deployment, and ongoing maintenance and support of
service-oriented architectures that implement the aforementioned
infrastructure. The position is also responsible for integration of
similar architectures across the NPRC Consortium, including data
integration as required by NIH/ORIP.
This position requires collaboration with a diverse set of ONPRC
research, veterinary, technical, and administrative staff, and
external collaborators including the NPRC Consortium to: (i)
identify opportunities and implement a robust, reliable, and
efficient software-development platform; (ii) provide easy-to-use
and reliable mechanisms for release, deployment, and support of
services developed with this platform; (iii) translate work
processes and performer insight and expertise into task-specific
microservices and artifacts using the platform; (iv) communicate
system/application designs to technical and non-technical peers,
both verbally and in writing; and (v) lead ONPRC in the application
of platform-based service architectures to dramatically enhance
quality, efficiency, and work satisfaction measures of
institutional operations, accelerating the pace and variety of
organizational innovation at ONPRC.
The incumbent must have experience with full-stack software
development and system administration tasks such as commercial and
open-source software installation, configuration, and optimization.
Incumbent should have significant experience with, in expertise in,
functional programming and service-oriented architectures,
including products such as Wolfram Language, MySQL, Python, MS VBA,
and Windows Programming.
Experience in an open-source, and/or research-oriented informatics
environment is preferred. The incumbent must be able to demonstrate
a history of self-motivated and detail-oriented work and/or
research. The Sr. Research Engineer must have experience working
with end-users, product owners, and have experience leading
engineering teams in the development and deployment of complex
technology. Strong oral and written communication skills are
essential, especially experience applying these in technology and
business development environments. The incumbent must have the
ability to learn unfamiliar technologies in support of legacy
software as well as new initiatives.
