ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is a world-renowned space science research institute at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  CU receives more NASA funding than any public university in the country (over $50M in FY07), due in large part to LASP programs (over $48M in FY07).  Professional engineers work closely with scientists in designing and building space flight hardware and helping mentor students as entry level engineers working on these programs.  LASP has been growing consistently and will have delivered three major instrument projects to NASA by the end of this year.  An opening exists for one EE immediately, and the potential for others in 2008.  We are, or will be, looking for electrical engineers within a variety of disciplines and with various levels of experience.  These engineers will be working on one or more NASA flight programs.  LASP is particularly proud of a work environment that supports employee creativity and productivity and offers opportunities for diverse experiences and a broad range of responsibilities.

Job Description:
Develop system concepts and detailed designs for space flight instruments, ground support and test hardware and support the fabrication, assembly, test and qualification activities.  Provide technical specification of subcontracted items, and interface with outside vendors for subsystem procurement and delivery.
B.S. or higher degree in electrical/electronic engineering is required. Previous experience in the design and analysis of spacecraft instrument electrical and electronic systems is highly desired.  Experience in one of the following areas is required:

Analog Design: design and analysis of analog circuits including low noise, low level light detection (both CCD and photodiode), switch mode and linear power converters, high voltage power converters, switch mode and linear motor drivers, temperature measurement and control and analog to digital and digital to analog converters.

Digital Design: design and analysis of complex digital systems, microprocessor based systems, programmed logic designs using FPGAs and digital signal processing functions embedded in FPGA logic.  Logic design using VHDL is desirable.

Resumes for this position will be accepted until all position are filled.  Submit resume & salary requirements, preferably via e-mail to: HRADS@lasp.colorado.edu, or mail to LASP, 1234 Innovation Dr., Boulder, CO  80303.  In your correspondence please include the code EE110107.  Due to ITAR requirements on NASA programs, only US Citizens and Permanent Residents need apply.  All final applicants being considered for employment are subject to background investigations including a criminal history check and when appropriate a financial and/or motor vehicle history.  The University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to diversity and equality in education and employment.
