Engineer III
General Atomics and Affiliated Companies
General Atomics (GA), and its affiliated companies, is one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies.
We currently have several exciting opportunities for a mid-level Instrumentation and Control (I&C) engineer as part of the Engineering and Projects team in the Energy Group. This position will be part of a team for the design, development, and fabrication of components and systems for Fusion applications including ITER and DIII-D. This position, under moderate supervision, is responsible for data acquisition and instrumentation hardware, control software, developing and implementing design specifications, implementing industrial control architectures, and programming PLC, microcontrollers, FPGA, and PC based control applications. Product development includes high lower and low power RF systems either used to heat and drive current in plasma discharges for controlled fusion or to monitor fusion interactions in fusion experiences. Products perform within high-frequency RF (microwave) of 30-170 GHz with RF power in magnitudes of mW or MW depending on the device.
The position requires a multi-faceted individual who is competent in both the software and hardware aspects of I&C, with enthusiasm and interest in learning new skills and performing a wide variety of tasks as required.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILTIES Develop project documentation (specifications, diagrams, schematics, test procedures, IO lists, device list, scope of work, startup and shutdown checklists, etc.).Maintain control systems, networks and control panels.Participate with a team of project engineers and scientists to develop projects as needed.Effectively communicate technical solutions for control system challenges.Ability to interpret electrical and P&ID drawings and specifications.Remain pro-active with all automation & control, instrumentation, maintenance codes, regulations, and industry standards.Provide technical coordination support for scientists, engineers, and customers.Evaluate and guide electrical, mechanical, and software designs to ensure system level requirements are met. Troubleshoot conflicting and difficult coordination requirements to support design development and system implementation.Devise appropriate approaches to resolve complex engineering and computer problems based on RF system performance requirements and existing RF system controls and data acquisition hardware.Document findings and communicate results through technical presentations and reports.Operate high-powered RF systems.
We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
