    Do you enjoy collaborating with a diverse group of people to solve complex challenges? Does contributing to breakthrough discoveries in science and working with unique experimental instrumentation in a world-leading scientific research environment excite you? The Photon Controls and Data Systems (PCDS) Department within the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Directorate at SLAC is seeking a Controls and Data Systems Engineer to plan, implement, and operate customized experimental installations, and develop enhancements to our scientific instrumentation and supporting hardware and software for the Control, Data Acquisition, and Data Analysis systems for one of the eight instruments supported by LCLS teams.

    There include three instruments receiving the LCLS-II beam, the five Hard X-ray science instruments using the copper beam as well as the Megaelectrovolt Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED) instrument.

    For more details on these instruments, see and

    Reporting to the Experiment Control Systems Delivery Department Head, the Controls and Data Systems Engineer will be a member of a multidisciplinary engineering group focused on developing software and hardware solutions to support scientific instrumentation, laser systems, controls, and data acquisition systems.

    In this position you will also work with scientific and operations support staff involved in advancing scientific instrumentation capabilities.

    LCLS is the world's first hard x-ray free electron laser (FEL) with unprecedented capabilities in photon energy range, peak power, and pulse lengths.

    There are seven independent instruments currently in operation, which are specifically designed to utilize the exceptional beam characteristics of the LCLS to probe the structure and dynamics of matter at atomic size and timescales.

    The evolution of science and experimental techniques on these instruments, along with upgrades in the x-ray FEL source and optical lasers (LCLS-II), require regular improvements to the supporting software and hardware platforms.

    See for more on LCLS and the unique capabilities of our instrument facilities.

    Your specific responsibilities include:
