We are looking for an engineerphysicist to join the Electronic Detector Systems Group EDES to cover a wide range of roles, working in all aspects of designing and delivering new detector systems and their electronics to our observatories and partner organisations. The department comprises a group of 32 electronic engineers, physicists and technicians who are responsible for the definition, design and implementation of complex control systems for advanced optical and infrared astronomical instrumentation, detectors and telescope systems required for ESOs Observatories in Chile. As an ElectronicsDetector Systems Engineer, with an electronics engineeringphysics background you will be involved in the detailed design of the electronics required to operate the latest generation of astronomical detectors. Depending on your experience of electronics, this might include low noise analogue electronics circuit design to be used cryogenically, andor in the detailed design and development of the next generation of detector control systems which might include the VHDL developments, using the very latest FPGA technology with 10 Gbit link technology, or even the development of ASICs etc. You may also be involved in defining the appropriate sensor technology and detector controller systems to fulfil the astronomical scientific requirements of infrared and visible instruments and to design, modify, integrate and qualify these detector systems using proven calibration and test techniques. You may also have responsibility for the final performance of the delivered detector systems and be able to provide support to the observatory staff for long term maintenance and problemsolving Main Duties and Responsibilities The successful candidate will work on a subset of the below mentioned fields Design, build and integrate complex astronomical detector systems, including the required electronics and hardware Detailed design of new electronics for next generation detector controllers which might including high voltage clock circuitry, low noise electronics, high speed electronics, low noise bias generation circuitry and complex VHDL design Integrate, qualify and test IRvisible imaging systems using calibration techniques Define and flow down requirements for future astronomical detectors and detector systems, working in collaboration with detector manufacturers and the scientific community Conduct technical assessments of instrument requirements and analyse detector system performance Provide technical direction to interdisciplinary teams to support the development of detector imaging systems Collaborate with ESO Engineers from other projects and Observatories, to define common approaches and standards and share experiences Provide support to observatory staff for maintenance and problem solving on opticalIR detectors systems already in operation Duties and responsibilities are not limited to the above, and a flexible approach and willingness to adapt is required. Key Competence and Experience We are looking for a candidate who is already familiar with the main fields described, that is electronic design and detector systems. Essential competence Analogue electronic circuit design with experience in design of very low noise electronics d.c. to 50 MHz Highspeed electronic schematic design and its corresponding PCB layout Rigidflexi PCB design Aspects of InfraredVisible, CCD andor CMOS detector system design, integration, qualification and test Provide clear, concise and timely oral and written communications, identifying the key issues, examining options and proposing a way ahead Effective and committed team player with ability to look for pragmatic solutions Excellent crossdisciplinary communication skills both oral and written Desirable competence would be Experience with software scripting languages, such as Python PSPICE modelling VDHL design and implementation with latest generation of FPGAs Semiconductor detector physics Radiometry and calibration techniques Cryogenicvacuum technology concepts and handling Handling of sensitive and expensive optoelectrical components, clean room experience Ability to and experience of working efficiently within an international and multicultural environment both independently and with diverse stakeholders including ability to build and manage collaborative working relationships with multidisciplinary stakeholders Proactive approach to contribute ideas for improvement and future developments For the position you should have at least three years of professional work experience within the area of the aforementioned essential competence. Qualifications University degree MSc in preferably electronics or physics with proven electronics experience, or an equivalent educational level. Language Skills A very good command of the English language oral, reading and writing is essential and a working knowledge of German or Spanish would be an advantage. Reports to Head of the Detector Group of the Electronic Engineering Department. Remuneration and Contract We offer an attractive remuneration package including a competitive salary tax free, comprehensive pension scheme and medical, educational and other social benefits, as well as financial help in relocating your family and the possibility to place your childchildren in day care. The contract is for a fixedterm duration of three years and is subject to successful completion of the probation period. There is a possibility of extensions subject to individual performance and organisational requirements, and as defined in the applicable policies and staff rules and regulations.
