Instrument Design Engineer/Scientist

You may know Stanford Research Systems (SRS) from our 40+ year history of designing and manufacturing scientific, analytical, and engineering test equipment for research and industrial applications. Products include lock-in amplifiers, atomic clocks, mass spectrometers, vacuum and gas analyzers, lasers and laser controllers, signal sources and signal analyzers. Less well known is that our R&D staff are mostly experimentalists—often PhDs in physics, chemistry, or electrical engineering. A creative work environment encourages engineers’ inventiveness and provides the manufacturing and financial resources so that their projects can benefit thousands of customers.

Job Description
The successful applicant will join a new instrument team. These teams require capable individuals with diverse talents. The ideal candidate will have experience with one or more of the following:

Electronics (microcontrollers, FPGAs, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, analog, digital, RF, schematic capture and PCB design)

Software

Firmware

HDL

Algorithm design

Even if you’ve never built an instrument, if you own a soldering iron, have built electronic boxes, have written code to control an experiment, enjoy the technology of measurement as much as result itself, understand noise, Fourier transforms and op-amps, have used a spectrometer, vacuum pump or CAD system, then you may be who we are looking for.

There is no specific educational requirement. While a majority of R&D engineers at the Company have a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, or chemistry, we understand that experience, capability, and the enjoyment of ‘making things work’ can come in many forms. Candidates should have strong written and oral communication skills and must have a legal right to work in the US.

Salary and Benefits
Salary range for entry-level Instrument Design Engineer/Scientist is $80,000 to $130,000 per year, commensurate with talent and skills. SRS offers a complete benefits package including health and dental insurance, matching 401k retirement plan, and paid time off. Relocation assistance is available. Salary is reviewed annually.
