Electrical Electronic Engineer
Salary: £53,818 to £59,199 per annum (depending on skills and experience)
Hours: Full time
Contract Type: Permanent
Location: Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire

The ISIS neutron and muon source is a world leading research centre at UKRI-STFCs Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. At the heart of ISIS is a high power particle accelerator. The Low Energy Beams Group, (LEBG) is responsible for creating the initial particle beam and delivering it to the ISIS accelerator for 247 operations.
The Electrical Section of the group is responsible for maintaining and developing all the electrical and electronic equipment used by the Low Energy Beams Group. This includes equipment required for both ISIS operations and for R+D test stands. The equipment is a mix of commercial and in-house developed systems including: 100 A pulsed power supplies; 25 kV pulsed power supplies; 65 kV DC power supplies; 100 kW 2 MHz RF systems; temperature control systems; pulsed gas control systems; timing systems; interlock systems; and a host of smaller low voltage/low current power supplies and sub-systems required for monitoring and controlling the operation of ion sources and low energy beam transport systems.
You will fault-find, repair, design, develop, procure, build and install electrical and electronic equipment. You will write documentation for new systems and maintain existing documentation including circuit diagrams, manuals, risk assessments and method statements.
