JOB OPPORTUNITY!
Build open-source technology for real-world environmental research.
Oregon State University’s Openly Published Environmental Sensing Lab is hiring a full-time Faculty Research Assistant to help design, test, and improve electronic systems used in environmental sensing research. This role is a great fit for an electrical or computer engineer who enjoys hands-on problem-solving, mentoring student teams, and turning circuit designs into reliable field-ready tools. The position supports work in embedded systems, analog and digital circuits, PCB design, sensor integration, troubleshooting, and solar/battery-powered systems.
The Faculty Research Assistant will work closely with students and faculty to review designs, guide fabrication readiness, support bench testing, improve lab workflows, and help develop open-source technologies that empower researchers, educators, and communities. They’re looking for someone with experience in electronics design and troubleshooting who is excited to mentor emerging engineers in a collaborative, mission-driven lab environment.
Oregon State University’s commitment to student success includes hiring, retaining, and developing diverse faculty to mentor and educate our undergraduate and graduate students from entry through graduation. The Oregon State Plan, Prosperity Widely Shared, exhibits the strategies we believe are critical to advancing and equalizing learner success.

As water challenges continue to grow across Oregon, researchers and Extension faculty are helping producers make informed, practical decisions. 💧🌾

The new Agricultural Water Management Technical Assistance Program (AgTAP) connects research with real-world solutions, providing science-based tools, hands-on demonstrations and technical support to help farmers and ranchers improve water-use efficiency, strengthen drought resilience and protect groundwater resources.

🚨Research Alert🚨
A tradition among Tajikistan's sheep herders: they would tie a linen sack of seeds to the necks of their animals as they drove them through narrow mountain passes to replant the critical pasture. The OPEnS lab was asked to turn this idea into an engineered product that could be used with any seeds that a rancher might wish to re-plant on any animal they might be grazing (i.e. cows, goats, sheep, etc.). The system was engineered, tested on the OSU herd, and now the system has come full circle back to the origins of the idea. This device is being prepared for commercialization for sale globally.
WOW. What an incredible job by the OPEnS Lab!
