ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:

• BS minimum, MS preferred, PhD possible; Electrical Engineering or Physics

EXPERIENCE:

• 5-10 years of experience.

• Experience in innovative conception, design, construction, implementation and maintenance of accelerator electronics systems particularly in the area of:
  • High-power DC magnet power supplies
  • High voltage ultra-high stability power supplies
  • Accelerator timing systems
  • Motor controls

• Areas of expertise include:
  • High current/voltage DC power supplies
  • High voltage/high stability power supplies

• Areas of expertise also includes one or more of the following specialties:
  • Accelerator timing systems
  • Beam position monitor systems
  • DC beam current monitors
  • Wall current monitors
  • Stepper and servo motor control technology
  • Pulsed power techniques

• Broad knowledge in electrical engineering with demonstrated analog and digital circuit design and documentation skills including proficiency with modern computer aided design packages.

• Experience with general interfacing and data acquisition techniques.

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a team environment.

• Must possess excellent oral and written communication skills.

• Knowledge of accelerator and synchrotron light physics would be a plus.

• Knowledge of accelerator RF systems would be a plus.

• Resourceful problem solver with excellent interaction skills, and capable of rapidly integrating R&D results into a practical manufacturing process.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

GENERAL:

• The Engineering Division is seeking an Accelerator Electronics Engineer to join the Instrumentation section of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) Electrical Engineering (EE) Group.

• The group's main activities are concentrated at the ALS, but it is expected that the group will be involved with other accelerator projects within and outside of the company.

SPECIFIC:

• Act independently on electrical engineering projects of significant scope with responsibility for cost, schedule, design, and implementation.

• Apply electronic engineering design expertise on a fully independent basis to meet the broadly based electronics requirements of the ALS.

• Serve as a resource in high power DC power systems as well as general electrical engineering for charged particle accelerators.

• Act proactively in determining direction and scope for:
  • DC magnet power supplies
  • Accelerator instrumentation systems including complex accelerator timing systems and other related electronics systems

• Interact with accelerator and beamline scientists effectively on a day-to-day basis to meet the very broad electronics systems needs of the scientific and accelerator physics programs.

• In concert with the instrumentation section leader, negotiate scope and direction of the electronics aspects of ALS and accelerator programs in general.

• May oversee and direct the effort of other technical team members.
