Description
Electronics Engineer**Science and Technology Facilities Council**Contract Type: Open ended (Permanent)*Hours: Full-time (flexible working available)
*Daresbury Laboratory, Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus, Warrington, WA4 4AD**Come and do the kind of engineering that made you want to be an engineer. Stretch your technical skills while building human understanding. And, alongside world-leading scientists and technologists, shape projects that improve lives, and daily life, in the UK and far beyond.
The Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is a partner organisation within UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
UKRI is a new entity that brings together nine partners to create an independent organisation with a strong voice for research and innovation and a vision to ensure the UK maintains its world-leading position in research and innovation.
STFC is one of Europe's largest research organisations.Through combining world-class facilities with major international collaborations, and some of the world's most talented staff, we're driving ground-breaking advances in science and engineering.
The Nuclear Physics Group (NPG), which sits within Technology Department at STFC Daresbury Laboratory, takes a leading role in many major international science collaborations, delivering state-of-the-art detector instrumentation systems.
NPG co-ordinates and supports the experimental research activities of the UK Nuclear Physics Community, providing expertise in computing, electronics, mechanical engineering, physics, project management and target making.
We are looking for an Electronics Engineer with FPGA experience who can deliver electronics for scientific DAQ systems for the NPG.
You will interact with members of the UK nuclear physics community and their overseas collaborators, to understand their instrumentation requirements, offering them advice on the latest electronics technology applicable to radiation detector readout systems.
You will also be working closely within a multi-disciplinary engineering team in the NPG and, depending on skills and experience, you will be responsible for all or some of the stages of the design process, such as user requirements/specifications, design, layout, manufacture, testing, installation, commissioning and support for a variety of the nuclear physics projects supported by STFC in the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Finland and USA.
*A first- or second-class degree or equivalent in Electronic Engineering or PhysicsElectronics experience which has been assessed and recognised by a professional body e.g.
You should have good solving problem skills, with the ability to work equally well on your own or as part of a team, and have excellent written and verbal communication skills to work with a range of colleagues and stakeholders both in UK and overseas, including:
Physicists, Engineers (Mechanical, Electrical, and Software) and procurement/contracts staff.
Analogue electronic design (e.g. low noise detector preamplifiers, gain and offset buffers, grounding techniques)
Together, our scientists, technologists, engineers and business support team explore the unknown across every field you could think of.
