| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem-solving skills, and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world. UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits, and natural beauty. The Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) has an outstanding opportunity for a Research Scientist/Engineer 2 to help design and fabricate our unique instrumentation that is required for our research. CENPA is a Department of Energy Center of Excellence with world leading experiments in nuclear physics and astrophysics. These experiments are located at University of Washington’s Seattle Campus as well as across North America and Europe. The experiments typically involve a variety of materials, fabrication techniques, testing and prototyping, and implementation in different life-cycle stages. The instrument can have characteristics such as: custom gaseous and scintillator detector construction, ultra-high vacuum conditions, high voltages, cryogenics, clean room operations, low background materials, and extremely high tolerance assembly. The successful candidate will be a hands-on engineer who can recognize and work with these challenges to help us design and fabricate components as needed by the laboratory’s research program. The RSE-2 will work within the iterative cycle of prototype design and fabrication, testing and modifications, to production and implementation, as determined by the particular demands of the research program. Because each project is different from others, the RSE2 will be expected to be able to resolve highly complex design and manufacturing problems, point out better ways to improve the design, and to provide testable prototypes based often only verbal or minimal written instructions. Expertise of the RSE2 in fabrication topics will enter into the “what is possible” part of the design phase and thus is integral to the overall success of the project. The successful candidate must have a broad knowledge of general engineering and physics principles, and will work with students, physicists, and a senior mechanical engineer.
