CorTech is seeking to hire an Electrical Engineer for our client in Dayton, OH! This employer requires all employees, temporary labor, consultants, and contractors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Benefits Available! Pay Rate - $40.57/hr Job Description Support the Air Force Laboratory (AFRL) Sensor’s 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 sub-systems. The successful candidate will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team on the design, integration, assembly, and characterization of hybrid electronic/photonic prototypes. Electronic development involves mixed-signal 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 sub-systems. Electronic support includes biasing of photonic devices, feed-back control, phase-locking, opto-electronic read-out, processing, and user-interfacing. Developed prototypes may be self-standing 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 high-speed ADCs, FPGAs, and ASICs. Additional responsibilities include characterization, documentation, briefing reports, and project planning. Required Qualifications • Expertise designing mixed signal embedded systems • Experience using circuit design software (e.g. Eagle, Altium); • Self-motivated, 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 micro-controllers, FPGAs or ASICs • Deep understanding of feedback control including phase-locked 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.
