- The Experiment Control Systems division within the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Directorate at SLAC is seeking an Automation Engineer to plan, implement, and operate customized experimental installations, and develop enhancements to our scientific instrumentation controls.
- 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.
- 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.
- Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) form the backbone of some of the most vital experiment support systems at LCLS, ranging from robust vacuum control to monitoring & protection of sensitive machine components, to motion control in steering x-ray optics.
- Manage hardware and software for the PLC controls & automation systems and related infrastructure such as computers and local networks, power supplies, motion systems, vacuum systems, and the like.
