Form of workElectrical Engineer
Join a fast-growing, high-tech research and manufacturing company located next to beautiful Old Town Lansing. Niowave is a leader in the development of superconducting particle accelerators for the production of medical and industrial radioisotopes. The team is now scaling up to meet a worldwide demand for critical radioisotopes. These include the most-commonly used nuclear medicine tracer, molybdenum-99, and the revolutionary cancer-killing actinium-225.
Summary/objectiveFull-time position for Electrical Engineers, at multiple levels of experience and responsibility, to design, build, test, operate, and maintain superconducting electron accelerators and associated hardware. These accelerators involve high-power RF, high voltage, vacuum systems, cryogenics, industrial and low-level RF controls, magnets, and beam diagnostics. An emphasis is placed on robust designs that can operate long-term in a challenging production environment.
Job Duties- Design, develop, test, and upgrade systems for present and future accelerators
- Contribute to the operation of particle accelerators and peripheral equipment/technology
- Perform calculations to produce engineering specifications for upgrades and future systems
- Conduct optimization measurements and create validation tests on existing systems
- At senior level,
- manage staff performing electrical work throughout the company
- coordinate work of other engineering staff and technicians
- collaborate with isotope scientists to meet needs for automated systems
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering or related fields (or equivalent relevant experience)
- Depth of knowledge in one or more practical aspects of Electrical Engineering, especially:
- microwave engineering
- analog circuits and circuit analysis
- power electronics
- controls systems (up to acoustic frequency response)
- At the senior level, experience in managing teams of engineers to succeed in short- and long-term development projects
- Move between offices and buildings to access accelerator hardware and prototypes
- Shift work may include evening, night, and early morning shifts, as well as fixed or rotating schedules
- Operate computers and diagnostic hardware like multimeters and oscilloscopes
- Extract and communicate information from design documents, test reports, electrical schematics and manufacturing prints
