JOB DESCRIPTION

Title:

Electronics Development Engineer

Electronics Development Engineer

Job Responsibilities: Support the Air Force Laboratory (AFRL) Sensor’s Directorate Integrated Photonic Circuits (IPC) Team to help advance R&D efforts in the field of integrated photonics and microwave photonics. Primary responsibilities are to lead the electronic development for the control, interfacing, and enhancement of photonic sub-systems. The successful candidate will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team on the design, integration, assembly, and characterization of hybrid electronic/photonic prototypes. Electronic development involves mixed-signal circuit design, programing of microcontrollers and/or FPGA implementation. Applications focus on microwave photonics, atomic systems, and sensing.  

The successful candidate is expected to lead electronic development to functionalize photonic sub-systems. Electronic support includes biasing of photonic devices, feed-back control, phase-locking, opto-electronic read-out, processing, and user-interfacing. Developed prototypes may be self-standing or embedded in larger system architectures. Opportunities also exist to contribute to exploratory research projects including the design of integrated electronic/photonic circuits and the advancement of microwave photonic processing using high-speed ADCs, FPGAs, and ASICs. Additional responsibilities include characterization, documentation, briefing reports, and project planning.

Qualifications

Required

  • Expertise designing mixed signal embedded systems
  • Experience using circuit design software (e.g. Eagle, Altium);
  • Self-motivated, with strong communication skills and the ability to work both independently and in a team environment across different disciplines.
  • Strong work ethic with integrity, dedication, dependability, and enthusiasm.
  • B.S. with 2+ years of relevant professional experience.
  • Ability to obtain SECRET security clearance

Desired Experience

  • Experience programming micro-controllers, FPGAs or ASICs
  • Deep understanding of feedback control including phase-locked loops, PID, and PDH.
  • Working knowledge of RF components and concepts
  • Extensive experience programing with C++, Python, and /or MATLAB.
  • Working knowledge of photonic components (e.g. lasers, modulator, detectors, etc.)
  • M.S. in electrical engineering, physics, or other related fields with 2+ years of relevant professional experience.
