Job Description
Title:
Electronics Development EngineerElectronics Development Engineer
Job Responsibilities: Support the Air Force Laboratory (AFRL) Sensors 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 subsystems. The successful candidate will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team on the design integration assembly and characterization of hybrid electronic/photonic prototypes. Electronic development involves mixedsignal 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 subsystems. Electronic support includes biasing of photonic devices feedback control phaselocking optoelectronic readout processing and userinterfacing. Developed prototypes may be selfstanding 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 highspeed ADCs FPGAs and ASICs. Additional responsibilities include characterization documentation briefing reports and project planning.
Qualifications
- Expertise designing mixed signal embedded systems
- Experience using circuit design software (e.g. Eagle Altium);
- Selfmotivated 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 microcontrollers FPGAs or ASICs
- Deep understanding of feedback control including phaselocked 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.
About AFRL: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) addresses the basic and applied research needs and interests of the US Air Force. Headquartered at WrightPatterson Air Force Base Ohio AFRL includes worldclass scientists engineers technologists post docs and visiting researchers all focused on cuttingedge technology including work with aerodynamics applied mathematics electronics engine design novel materials optics/photonics etc. To learn more visit Description: The Aerospace Components & Subsystems Technology Division develops and matures stateoftheart photonic technologies for a variety of applications. The applicant will work within the Ultrafast Photonics Devices and Research Laboratory which sits within this Division. The focus of this stateoftheart laboratory is not only on conducting basic research but transitioning promising results into systemlevel demonstrations in an effort to better understand the functional tradeoffs associated with various systemslevel design decisions. This laboratory contains one of the most versatile ranges of both conventional and unique photonics test and measurement equipment in the country and includes subHertz linewidth lasers as well as a wide range of electronic test equipment up to 110 GHz. The labs current team members hold PhDs and have strong technical backgrounds in optics/photonics however; this group is currently looking to grow their team.
