Circuit Design Engineer – 76531BR

Location: Lexington, MA. The Electro-Optics Materials and Devices Group needs a circuit design and prototyping person to support a diverse array of electronic design challenges. Our design problems range from modest FPGA designs, often embedded into larger systems to novel analog circuit design for driving lasers and signal-conditioning for detectors. About half of the boards built support test and diagnostics of the lasers and detectors the Group fabricates. Some familiarity with electro-optics would be a great asset given the diverse design challenges the Group faces. For example, one of our near-term projects requires the design of pulse processing electronics for PMT's from analog discriminators to digital correlators.

REQUIRED: Minimum of an AS with at least 5 years of relevant experience. Experience with at least one FPGA design environment is required, with a modest preference for Xilinx. Strong design and debugging skills evidenced by deep involvement in the whole process of implementation from architecture through user qualification tests is required.
