Principal Instrumentation Electronics Engineer

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.

What You Will Do :

• Perform a variety of engineering activities, including developing high-speed data acquisition systems based on the latest FPGA technologies.
• Design hardware and firmware for digital and mixed signal interfaces to >

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

What is Required :

Desired Qualifications :

Equal Employment Opportunity Employer : The foundation of Berkeley Lab is our Stewardship Values : Team Science, Service, Trust, Innovation, and Respect; and we strive to build community with these shared values and commitments.
