Chief Field Engineer
I maintain the scientific instrumentation used by scientists to record data on Hawaiian volcanoes.
As the chief field engineer, my day consists of making sure that all 240 remote sites are well maintained, running efficiently, and that data is coming in for scientists to analyze. Some sites are only accessible via helicopter, so sometimes travel to work can be interesting.
