Upton, United States Brookhaven LAB Full time
Job Summary

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our Power Supply Systems group at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The successful candidate will work with a team to develop, design, procure, test, and install superconducting magnet quench detection and quench protection devices for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The engineer will also be responsible for modifying superconducting magnet connections, voltage taps, and cryogenic feedthroughs, as well as installing new superconducting magnets.

Key Responsibilities
  • Work with the Superconducting Magnet & Power Supply Systems staff, accelerator physicists, and system managers and engineers to develop, define, and document detailed requirements and specifications for superconducting magnet quench detection and quench protection systems.
  • Collaborate with other engineers and technicians to deliver superconducting magnet quench detection and quench protection systems and components, participating in various project phases including initial concept, engineering analysis, detailed design, integration, fabrication, procurement, assembly, testing, installation, and commissioning.
  • Work as part of a team in all magnet quench detection/quench protection/power supply system projects, assisting in developing project plans defining and documenting scope, required labor and material resources, schedules, and procurement plans.
  • Ensure that magnet quench detection/quench protection/power supply systems and components have well-defined specifications for support systems: electrical power, water cooling, HVAC, compressed air, and controls, and that these are communicated with the responsible support groups.
  • Support superconducting magnet power supply operation, including training operation staff, developing operation procedures, troubleshooting, and resolving technical issues.
  • Maintain an environment conducive to openness, collaboration, and respect for all.
Requirements
  • BS in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • At least three (3) years of relevant technical experience demonstrating an understanding of superconducting magnet quench detection and quench protection experience, with background in design, development, and testing experience on creative engineering projects.
  • Familiarity with electronic test equipment including function generators, oscilloscopes, and multimeters.
  • Ability to work with minimal supervision and collaborate/interact with other engineering and scientific staff for assignment, and guidance. Support contractors, vendors, project management, and procurement professionals.
  • Experience organizing and presenting technical status reports, utilizing MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Preferred Qualifications
  • At least seven (7) years of relevant technical experience.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, building, and operating large-scale low-temperature superconducting magnet power supplies/quench detection/quench protection and support systems.
  • Ability to design quench protection schemes and analysis to ensure the safety of the magnet operation.
  • Experience working with and modifying superconducting magnet string drawings, superconducting magnet voltage taps, superconducting bus work voltage taps, and gas-cooled lead voltage taps.
  • Designing, purchasing, and installation of cryogenic feedthroughs. Experience with superconducting magnet and superconducting buswork joints.
  • Knowledge of Visual Basic, Matlab, Mathcad, Python, C, C++, and/or LabView in a lab environment.
  • Experience with technical software: PSpice, PSIM, Micro-Cap, or other circuit analysis tools.
