Electronics Project Engineer | Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory - Military Veterans

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Engineering Division has an opening for an Electronics Project Engineer to join the team. As a member of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experience (DUNE), the position is to serve as the project electronics engineer for the Liquid Argon Near Detector. DUNE is the largest high- energy physics experiment currently under construction in the United States and aims to unlock the mysteries of the elusive neutrino that could help increase our understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and the evolution of the universe. In this exciting role, the candidate will apply engineering principles, methods, and research techniques to solving complex technical problems in state-of-the-art electronic instrumentation for large-scale particle detectors. The candidate will be responsible for managing a high-performing multi-disciplinary team, including authoritative resource-loaded schedules and estimates, and speak for the engineering profession on project team discussions. The ideal candidate will have a broad background in electronics engineering, particularly the design and implementation of large-scale systems. The candidate will have practical hands-on experience working with electronics and the ability to effectively communicate with various stakeholders to resolve complex issues in creative ways. What You Will Do: Working independently, apply electronics engineering principles, develop methods, and research techniques toward the solution of complex technical problems of state-of-the- art electronic instrumentation and data acquisition systems for semiconductor detectors. Coordinate and manage partner laboratory/university efforts, development of authoritative resource-loaded schedules and basis of estimates. Communicate monthly status updates to project management, provides monthly earned-value-management reporting, completes schedule and cost variance reports. Provide engineering direction and judgment for developmental work, with due consideration for scientific and practical concerns. Work collaboratively with scientists and engineers both from LBNL and from other institutions to provide recommendations, requirements and specifications, and implement solutions in your area and outside your area of expertise. Direct activities of other personnel to complete required tasks. Document ongoing and completed work and present it at conferences and workshops. Publish in relevant journals. What is Required: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or related field or equivalent experience. A minimum of 8 years of related experience with a B.S. or 6 years of related experience with an M.S. is required. Typically, successful candidates will have significantly more experience. Demonstrated experience in leading and managing technical groups and interdisciplinary team-based projects. Strong background and skill base in electronics engineering, including ability to exercise sound engineering judgment and analysis, and strong written and verbal technical communication skills. Demonstrated knowledge in working on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors. Demonstrated ability to estimate resource requirements, time, and expense for completion of projects. Desired Qualifications: PhD and/or Master degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. 3+ years of experience working in a research and development environment. Experience in high-speed, low-noise analog circuit design techniques and in analog circuit simulation tools (such as PSPICE) and schematic capture tools (such as ORCAD). Experience in design of electronic instrumentation and data acquisition system involving a large number of channels. Knowledge of project management techniques. Salary: This position is expected to pay a targeted range of $158,000.00 to $193,000.00 annually and has a full salary range of $140,676.00 to $237,408.00 annually. The final salary is dependent upon the candidate's skills, knowledge, and abilities, including education, certifications, and years of experience. Notes: This is a full-time career appointment, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay. This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment. This position is eligible for a hybrid work schedule with a minimum of 3 days per week onsite. A hybrid work schedule is a combination of teleworking and performing work on site at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA. Work schedules are dependent on business needs. Individuals working a hybrid schedule must reside within 150 miles of Berkeley Lab. Want to learn more about working at Berkeley Lab?
