Our R&D team supports the development and delivery of our world-leading photon-counting radiation detector technology to major system OEMs for photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT). We are expanding the team and hiring an Instrumentation Engineer to support our device physics and reliability teams. Reporting to the Senior Detector Scientist & Detector Physics Team Lead, the successful applicant will assume a key and hands-on role in designing, building, debugging and documenting custom and semi-custom instrumentation to characterize the performance of our materials and devices. The Instrumentation Engineer will work as part of a larger team, frequently interacting with Detector Scientists and Engineers.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop low-noise small-signal instrumentation electronics for laboratory experiments including photon counting, current measurement, including various sensors e.g., temperature, force, etc. This may involve the design of prototype printed circuit boards.
• Populate printed circuit boards including soldering of both surfaced-mount and through-hole electronic components.
• Debug electronic circuitry using diagnostic tools such as meters, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzers.
• Work with high-voltage power supplies and ESD-sensitive circuitry using appropriate safe work practices.
• Develop and debug acquisition and analysis software using Python and MATLAB to control instrumentation, mechanical systems and acquire data
• Use source code version control systems, preferably git, to manage software.
• As required, develop embedded firmware or FPGA code to communicate with photon counting ASICs or other experimental components.
• Develop, assemble and debug mechanical systems using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for motion control, precision alignment of components including the detectors being tested.
• Where necessary, design custom mechanical components for prototyping using 3D printing, machining, etc.
• Run the first experiments with new instruments including collaboration with the Detector Scientists to interpret and analyze the data.
• Perform gauge repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) measurements to quantify measurement variability.
• Perform measurements until the instruments are fully debugged and validated, then train technicians/technologists in their operation.
• Ability and willingness to perform additional tasks and duties as applicable to the role assigned

Skills Required:

• Excellent oral and written English language communication skills
• Background in electronic circuit design, debugging and test
• Good manual dexterity to work with delicate and miniature components.
• Software development skills for data acquisition and instrument control.
• Experience with mechanical system construction and debugging
• Experience with programming with Python, MATLAB or similar software

Other Requirements:

• A hands-on orientation, experience as a maker on your own projects is an asset
• Attention to detail is essential
• Demonstrated positive attitude and self-motivation
• Ability to work in a dynamic environment as a member of a multi-disciplinary team
• Comfortable with challenging development projects with competing priorities
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Outstanding interpersonal and collaborative team skills
• Experience in a research and development environment is an asset

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Engineering Physics.
