Why Work at BYU
As the flagship higher education institution of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young University (BYU) strives to be among the exceptional universities in the world. At BYU, we are devoted to our faith and to our students. We take an active role in the University's Mission: "To assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life.”
Our unique mission, deeply rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, provides countless ways to serve and make an impact.

Development of Custom Equipment and Interfacing
Consult with faculty and students on new equipment design or modifications to support research needs
Design and construct digital and analog circuitry as needed
Provide support for computer interfacing using software such as LabVIEW
Technical Leadership and Campus Training

Use technical expertise to support lab personnel in understanding proper use and maintenance of critical research instruments
Lead campus-wide training efforts as needed in safety and equipment use
Operations, Purchasing, and Safety Compliance
Submit and track work orders, ensure timely follow-through, and update system entries with parts used
Perform purchasing duties and submit expense reports for equipment and repair needs
Follow university and room-specific safety protocols
Support the greenhouse, animal facilities, and various campus buildings with repair needs that fall outside standard facilities management responsibilities

Required:
