Associate Professor of Electronics Engineering
United States
Description The Berkeley Lab's Engineering Division is hiring an Instrumentation Senior or Principal Electronics Engineering Associate to provide expert technical support for electrical and electronic systems within the Advanced Light Source (ALS) with a focus on supporting the Accelerator Instrumentation group. This role involves providing assistance and design support for printed‑circuit boards, electronic chassis and internal wire/cable harnessing, structured cabling systems, managing documentation, procurement, fabrication, and testing to ensure system performance. This position requires hands‑on experience assembling and troubleshooting integrated electronic equipment with a background in electronics or electrical engineering, and strong skills in proactive problem‑solving and strategic decision‑making within established practices and policies. The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing ALS objectives by delivering high‑quality technical solutions for various electrical designs, mentoring team members, solving technical challenges, and ensuring the reliable and efficient implementation of ALS projects. What You Will Do
Support design of electronic devices including printed‑circuit boards, electronic chassis and internal wire/cable harnessing, while adhering to electrical, mechanical, and thermal constraints. Test and troubleshoot complex electronic systems (chassis, cables, components, etc.) on the bench and in the field. Generate and manage build and test documentation for electronic devices and systems, including formal procedures for systems that require periodic qualification. Work with external vendors to coordinate PCB fabrication and assembly, and mechanical components fabrication and assembly (chassis enclosures, panels, heatsinks, RF shields, etc.). Coordinate with on‑site trades (electricians, technicians) for electronics and cabling assembly and installation. Assist in designing and installing cable systems, including structured cabling and infrastructure. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to manage project timelines, budgets, and resources. Use LBL procurement software and work with the procurement department to purchase parts, components, devices and equipment. Maintain qualifications (e.g., Qualified Electrical Worker) and adhere to electrical safety standards and best practices (LOTO, NFPA 70E). Use tools like cable testers, VNAs, TDRs, OTDRs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, power meters, and HiPot testers. Qualifications
Senior Electronics Engineering Associate Bachelor’s degree in electrical/electronics engineering or related field, with 5+ years of professional experience. Strong foundation in electronics design, testing, and troubleshooting, with expertise in circuits, wiring, power distribution, and control systems. Proficient in reading electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and technical diagrams. Expertise in structured cabling, fiber optic networks, and electrical/electronic components. Advanced ability to manage technical projects from start to finish using project management principles, with strong teamwork and collaboration skills with engineers, technicians, and stakeholders. Proficient in CAD tools (AutoCAD, OrCAD, KiCAD) for schematic capture and layout. Principal Electronics Engineering Associate
(in addition to above) Bachelor’s degree in electrical/electronics engineering or related field, or equivalent experience, with at least 7 years of professional experience. Experience with electrical power distribution, large electromagnets, and water monitoring systems. This is a full‑time, 2‑year term appointment with the possibility of extension or conversion to Career appointment based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. The expected salary for this position is
$111,000.00‑$136,000.00 , which fits into the full salary of
$99,000.00‑$167,100.00
annually depending upon the candidate’s skills, knowledge, and abilities, including education, certifications, and years of experience. This position is subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment. Work will be primarily performed at: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA. Equal Employment Opportunity Employer The foundation of Berkeley Lab is our Stewardship Values: Team Science, Service, Trust, Innovation, and Respect; and we strive to build community with these shared values and commitments.
