What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electronics Engineer position at Indiana University Bloomington?
The Department of Physics at Indiana University invites applicants for the position of Electronics Engineer. Our faculty are leaders in many research areas including particle, nuclear, quantum information, atomic, molecular, optical, condensed matter, and biophysics. We work locally and in collaborations with laboratories throughout the US and world. We take pride in the educational opportunities we provide our students to learn physics laboratory methods. The Electronics Engineer will make essential contributions to research in neutrino physics (DUNE, COHERENT, Project 8, LEGEND), neutron physics (BL3, NOPTREX, NSR), high energy physics (ATLAS), polarized interactions (MOLLER, EIC), hadron spectroscopy (GLUEX), and more. We also expect there will be opportunities for outreach and education.
Primary responsibilities include working closely with physics department faculty, staff and students to design, model, fabricate and deploy electronics instruments for research; collaborating on R & D for proposals of new experiments; simulating electronics systems and subsystems; developing documentation for manufacture, testing and use; and developing and servicing equipment for the physics department advanced laboratory courses.
Required qualifications:
- Bachelor of Science in EE, Physics, or closely related field and minimum 2 years’ experience
- Combinations of related education and experience may be considered
Preferred qualifications:
- Excellent working knowledge of physics and electrical engineering principles
- Experience in analog and digital circuit design, schematic capture and PCB layout
- Experience with fabrication, debugging and characterization of electronic components and assemblies, and related instrumentation
- Experience with sensors and sensor signal processing, particularly for physics research applications
- Experience with low noise circuits (fundamental noise sources, interference paths and shielding, debugging) and wideband pulse circuits (DC to 1 GHz)
- Experience with analog circuit simulation (SPICE)
- Experience with FPGA design and VHDL/Verilog
- Familiarity with trigger and data acquisition systems, and power supply subsystems for detectors
- General knowledge in software development (C/C or Python)
As part of the Indiana University experimental physics group, the electronics engineer will experience the challenges, rewards, and unique opportunities for creativity found in scientific research as a member of diverse, inclusive, international collaborations.
The position is in-person at Indiana University, Bloomington and may involve some travel to research sites worldwide.
