Why Work at BNL?
Brookhaven National Laboratory (www.bnl.gov) delivers discovery science and transformative technology to power and secure the nation's future. Brookhaven Lab is a multidisciplinary laboratory with seven Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, 37 R&D 100 Awards, and more than 70 years of pioneering research. The Lab is primarily supported by the U.S. Department;of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science. Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) operates and manages the Laboratory for DOE. BSA is a partnership between Battelle and The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University.

Organizational Overview

The mission of the Collider-Accelerator Department (C-AD) is to operate, maintain, improve, and upgrade the suite of electron, proton, and heavy ion accelerators used to carry out a program of accelerator-based experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). To support this program, the C-AD must design, fabricate, assemble, test, install, and operate unique research equipment to generate, transport, transfer, accelerate, focus, track, collide, and absorb high intensity particle beams up to energies of 250 GeV. This includes a combination of custom designed and built parts and vendor produced components developed by a collaboration of the C-AD scientific, engineering, and technical staff. The C-AD supports an international user community of over 1,500 scientists. The C-AD performs all these functions in an environmentally responsible and safe manner, under a rigorous conduct of operations approach.

Position Description

The Collider Accelerator Department has an opening for an Electrical Engineer to design, develop, integrate, commission and support the operation of complex beam line instrumentation systems. These include beam current and charge monitoring devices, screen and wire transverse profile monitors, position monitors, and tune meters. The position involves responsibilities for new and existing beam instrumentation systems, signal processing electronics, calibrations, interface to the Linux based Controls system and overall performance to meet the needs of the physics program. Will work as a contributing and productive member of a team of engineers and assist in the direction of technicians during all phases of component selection, prototyping, construction, commissioning and equipment operation. The Accelerator Components & Instrumentation Group is responsible for operation and upgrade of a wide variety of beam instrumentation systems for the RHIC (Relatvistic Heavy Ion Collider) complex of particle accelerators and other existing and planned accelerator systems. This will require understanding of systems details within your responsibility and understanding how and why they are important to the overall operation of the machines. Must possess the keen ability to push the leading edge and recommend methods for solving problems.

Position Requirements

• Requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or closely related field
• A minimum of seven years relevant experience
• Knowledge of analog and digital electronic circuits and troubleshooting experience to the component level
• Experience with electronics test equipment, scopes, spectrum analyzers and multi-meters.
• Use of CAD design tools for electronic circuit simulation and design
• Excellent written and verbal communication and good interpersonal skills are required to interact with a diverse group of scientists and technical staff
• Ability to support a team with diverse skills and talents during all phases of design, construction, testing, repair and upgrade of existing equipment and operations support

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• MS degree in electrical engineering
• Prior experience with particle beam current and charge monitoring, transverse profile and position measurement and tune meter systems.
• Experience with RF and analog circuit design, amplifiers, gated integrators, digitizers and digital signal processing,
• Experience with P-Spice, Cadence and LabVIEW software.
• Experience with Linux operating systems, FPGA programming and Microsoft Office applications.

• Must be able to lift up to 30 lbs
• Must be able to work at heights of up to five (5) feet
• Must have valid driver's license
