Cap-Exempt H-1B Position — No lottery required
**What You Will Do** The Accelerator Operations and Technology Division Applied Electrodynamics (AOT-AE) group is seeking a R&D Engineer 2/3 to provide expertise, support, and technical leadership in all aspects of testing and troubleshooting pulsed power systems. We look for candidates with expertise in experiment setup, live analysis of data during testing, and moderate understanding of electric circuits to be able to make field changes to improve designs. This particular position will be funded by the LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project (LAMP), and the successful candidate will engage in design developmental activities for the LAMP accelerator, including interactions with experimental physicists and engineers at various test stands associated with LAMP. This position will be filled at either the R&D Engineer 2 or 3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level. **R&D Engineer 2: $106,400-$176,000** The selected R&D Engineer 2 will support the development, testing, and operation of electrical and power systems by: - Reading and interpreting electrical schematics and component-level technical documentation to support system assembly, troubleshooting, and maintenance. - Assisting with the installation, checkout, troubleshooting, and testing of high-voltage, pulsed power, and power electronics systems. - Using circuit simulation tools such as PSPICE, Multisim, LTSPICE, or similar software to analyze circuit behavior and support design and test activities. - Applying matrix algebra and engineering analysis tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, Mathcad, or similar software to evaluate system performance and support modeling efforts. - Documenting technical work in clear written reports, test summaries, and presentations, and communicating results effectively to team members and stakeholders. - Working both independently and collaboratively as part
