Engineer II

Primary Responsibilities

• Systematically document, reproduce, and validate the existing EPR spectrometer architecture
• Design and implement microwave circuits across spectrometer subsystems: source, coupling, resonator, and detection
• Drive incremental system improvements toward a compact, energy-efficient form factor
• Simulate and validate resonator and coupling structures in HFSS with bench confirmation
• Contribute to STTR milestone deliverables including prototypes, performance benchmarks, and regulatory documentation
• Produce peer-reviewed publications and technical reports as direct outputs of this work
• Aid in the collection and analysis of data
• Interact with clinical and research faculty to determine how to further develop, optimize, and test the equipment
• Compile information gathered from testing and analysis to generate complete reports to faculty and outside funding organizations
• Aid faculty in the timely preparation of manuscripts, reports and grants
• Provide ongoing statistical, computer programming, and maintenance for research performed

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microwave Engineering, or closely related engineering discipline
• Hands-on bench experience with microwave circuits, RF instrumentation (VNA, Spectrum Analyzer), or systems integration required
• Working knowledge of microwave circuit theory: transmission lines, matching networks, waveguide structures, low-noise signal chains
• HFSS or equivalent FEM simulation experience preferred, lab-specific training provided
• Self-starter who can work with significant autonomy and defend technical decisions with measured data
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills: publications and progress reporting are expected outputs
• Data utilization, complex problem solving, critical thinking, and resource management
