Experience:
Required: The candidate must have a Bachelor's degree in Physics or equivalent. He or she must have at least 10 years experience in selecting detectors for optical instruments, interfacing with the vendor producing the detectors, and testing the detectors when received. He or she must be able to make radiometric calculations for optical instruments and have a working knowledge of detector electronics including the effects of radiation in space.
Desired: The candidate should have at least a Masters degree in Physics or equivalent. He or she should have a minimum of 15 years experience in selecting detectors for optical instruments, interfacing with the vendor producing the detectors, and testing the detectors when received. He or she should be capable of designing the detector electronics.
Job Description:
Understand the state of the art in optical instrument detectors. Responsible for assisting with the instrument proposal including radiometric and SNR calculations, detector selection, selecting and interfacing with the detector vendor, reviewing test data and accepting the detectors, designing or working with the detector electronics design engineer, testing, calibrating, and qualifying and delivering to the instrument the detector / detector electronics set. Select the appropriate detector for an optical instrument. Write the specification for that detector. Select and interface with the vendor providing the detector. Review the test data for acceptance. Either design or work with the design engineer to help design the detector electronics. Test, calibrate, and environmentally qualify the detector with detector electronics. Assist in the integration and test of the detector / detector electronics with the rest of the instrument. Perform the radiometric and SNR calculations for the end-to-end optical instrument. Present the designs to the sponsor at design reviews. Assist in the preparation of proposals (including both technical and financial). Understand the state of the art in detectors for optical instruments from the far-UV through the mid-wavelength IR and the sensor technology for Gamma-ray, Neutron, and X-ray spectrographs.
