Brookhaven National Laboratory was recently chosen as the building site for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a one-of-a-kind nuclear physics research facility. The EIC will be a discovery machine for unlocking the secrets of the “glue” that binds the building blocks of visible matter in the universe. The machine design is based on the existing and highly optimized RHIC Ion-Ion collider. It will consist of two intersecting accelerators, one producing an intense beam of electrons, the other a beam of protons or heavier atomic nuclei which are steered into collisions. Beyond sparking scientific discoveries in a new frontier of fundamental physics, the Electron-Ion Collider will trigger technological breakthroughs that have broad-ranging impact on human health and national challenges.
Position Description
The Electron Ion Collider Instrumentation Group has an opening for an Electrical/Electronics Engineer to design, develop, integrate, commission, and support the operation of complex beam line instrumentation systems. These include beam position monitors, beam loss monitors, beam current and charge monitoring devices, transverse, and longitudinal profile monitors. The position involves responsibilities for designing future planned particle beam line instrumentation components, signal processing electronics, calibrations, interface to the controls system and ensuring the overall performance meets the requirements of the physics program. You will work as a contributing and productive member of a team of engineers, consult with physicists, and may assist in the direction of technicians during all phases of the design, component selection, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and equipment operation. Must possess the keen ability to push the leading edge and recommend methods for solving problems.
Join BNL at the beginning of this ground-breaking scientific and engineering project and become part of the team building this scientific discovery machine (bnl.gov/eic).
