Three of these DIAG teams are instrumentation teams focused on the delivery of hardware that will be used in day-to-day SPARC operations. This position focuses on a fourth team which is responsible for delivering equipment that provides functional support but does not participate in the transformation of the signal from plasma to bits. This support equipment is highly interface constrained and helps to provide solutions between instrumentation systems within DIAG or between DIAG and other structural members (e.g. the building or vacuum vessels). When viewed from outside of DIAG the distinction between support equipment and instrumentation effectively vanishes but internal to DIAG this breakdown helps to facilitate speed and quality.The Manager of the Diagnostic Support Equipment (DSE) team is expected to provide team leadership as well as carry out responsibilities of an individual contributor on an as needed basis to help facilitate the delivery of DSE hardware.
