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.QualificationsRequired--- 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 clearanceDesired 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.About AFRL: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) addresses the basic and applied research needs and interests of the US Air Force. Headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Ohio, AFRL includes world-class scientists, engineers, technologists, post docs, and visiting researchers all focused on cutting-edge technology, including work with aerodynamics, applied mathematics, electronics, engine design, Client materials, optics/photonics, etcNesco Resource and affiliates (Lehigh G.I.T Inc, and Callos Resource, LLC) is an equal employment opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics with respect to employment opportunities.
