Principal Instrumentation Electronics Engineer

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's (LBNL) Engineering Division has an immediate opening for a Principal Instrumentation Electronics Engineer at the Advanced Light Source (ALS).

The ALS is a world-class accelerator-based user facility that provides high-intensity, high-energy photon beams for science. A 200-meter circumference electron accelerator generates photon packets that feed the more than 40 independent beamlines, where more than 2000 scientists per year perform their experiments. The ALS is in the process of a major accelerator upgrade project to rejuvenate the facility for many years to come.

As a member of the ALS Instrumentation Group, you will perform a variety of interesting and challenging engineering tasks related to state-of-the-art electronic instrumentation and data acquisition systems for particle accelerators and other scientific applications. The primary responsibility will be to support the Advanced Light Source programs. This work may range in complexity and scope, and can cover all phases of a system's life cycle : conceptualization, design, planning, implementation, and commissioning. Assignments will be chosen to maximize the team's effectiveness in developing analog and digital board designs for digital signal processing systems (typically using FPGAs) for real-time monitoring and control applications, including simulation and software support.

What You Will Do :

• Perform a variety of engineering activities, including :

Develop high-speed data acquisition systems based on the latest FPGA technologies.

500MHz analog RF front-ends for accelerator diagnostic systems.

Define scope and provide cost and schedule estimates.

Interact with a broad range of engineers, scientists, graduate students, postdocs, technicians, operators, and administrative staff.

Track the field of accelerator instrumentation and related technologies and introduce new technologies, methods, and tools to accelerator instrumentation.
