Senior Software Product Manager and Architect
The Computation Institute (CI) of the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory seeks a Senior Software Product Manager and Architect to lead various software development efforts and advise CI staff on opportunities related to emerging information technologies.
An important and growing part of the CI's activities is to work in collaboration with scientific and medical domain experts to develop complex, robust software products that dramatically enhance the work of those domain experts.
The candidate must be able to work collaboratively with such domain experts to integrate business and technical planning and execution related to such software projects. The responsibilities encompass activities throughout the software project lifecycle including; collaborative opportunity assessment; solution conception; software product requirements gathering; translation of requirements into technical specifications; development of project planning; hands-on software development oversight; oversight of software deployment, operation, and support; and reporting to project status to management and funding agencies. The candidate is expected to bring commercial best practices and emerging technologies to this process.
This is a newly created position, and is expected to fill a critical role in providing day-to-day, hands-on leadership in large-scale projects of the CI Director and other CI Principle Investigators, thus giving those PI's increased leverage to tackle a portfolio of ever larger and more complex projects. Such leverage is key to implementing the strategic vision for CI's growth, technical maturity and capacity-building into one of the world's premier centers for advanced computational engineering and scientific discovery.
