Staff Scientist - TID Sensors
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, California, United States, 94029
Staff Scientist - TID Sensors
The Technology Innovation Directorate at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking a talented Staff Scientist to join our team and be responsible for designing, fabricating, assembling, and testing a variety of sensors to meet the needs of the Lab’s mission.
The Sensors Department is part of TID’s Instrumentation Division and is responsible for delivering the sensor technologies for many of the scientific programs at SLAC. As a Staff Scientist in this department, you will work side by side with our nation's leading scientific minds while also performing R&D on future approaches and technologies in the area of instrumentation.
Some of our current key projects from Instrumentation Division include the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) x-ray laser and high speed x-ray detectors, FACET high energy electron accelerator, Cosmic Microwave Background Stage 4 (CMB-S4) telescope array to be deployed in the Andes, Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) and Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS), artificial retina development in collaboration with Stanford University, and development of flight hardware for future space telescopes.
The successful candidate will be expected to provide innovative solutions to the many experiments that SLAC is involved with both now and in the future. Photolithographic mask design, development and optimization of fabrication processes, advanced device packaging and electrical test qualification for the unique requirements of SLAC experiments will be expected. Hands-on work in a cleanroom environment will be a central part of this job.
Responsibilities include:
Design, fabrication, assembly and test of semiconductor sensors for x-ray and particle detection Lead and advance detector state-of-the-art to enable the Lab’s scientific mission Coordination and collaboration with Sensors Dept. team to achieve project goals Work on the publication of scientific papers and presentations of findings at conferences Lead program development efforts to support ongoing detector R&D at SLAC Requirements:
PhD in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, or related fields with 4 years of relevant experience in semiconductor sensors, preferably for particle or x-ray detection Strong knowledge of design packages such as PISCES, Medici, TCAD, Cadence, LEdit, Layout Editor, or equivalent. Fundamental knowledge and practical experience with cleanroom process tools, vacuum system hardware, and supporting systems Extensive experience with process development and optimization, metrology, and statistical process control. Familiarity with packaging and assembly processes, as well as electrical testing and device qualification. Effective communication and writing skills for preparing and presenting technical and scientific documentation Ability to work and communicate effectively with a diverse population, and to collaborate in a team environment SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer and supports diversity in the workplace. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital or family status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information.
