Superconducting Device Design Engineer
Position SummaryMichigan State University operates FRIB as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics.
As one of 28 DOE-SC user facilities, FRIB provides researchers with one of the most advanced tools of modern science to study rare isotopes, or short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth. FRIB hosts what is designed to be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, enabling scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry.
User facility operation is supported by the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics as one of 28 DOE-SC user facilities. MSU's nuclear physics graduate program is a top-ranked program nationally, according to U.S. News & World Report..
This position affords an exciting opportunity to become part of the world-class FRIB Laboratory that enables unique discovery opportunities in nuclear science.
Purpose
The Superconducting Device Design Engineer will be part of a team responsible for designing, prototyping, and building state-of-the-art superconducting magnets and cryomodules. These efforts are aimed at supporting the operation of FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams) and potential future upgrades. Additionally, the Superconducting Device Design Engineer will be involved in the troubleshooting of superconducting devices in the FRIB accelerator on an on-call basis.
