## Description

We are seeking an experienced Pulsed Power Engineer to join our Directed Energy team in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a key member of our team, you will contribute to the research and development of next-generation technologies at the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) on Kirtland AFB. You will have the opportunity to work with modern equipment in cutting-edge laboratories, transforming designs and ideas into state-of-the-art pulsed power devices and high power microwave (HPM) sources and systems.

**Primary Responsibilities:**

- Design, develop, test, and characterise novel pulsed-power devices and high-power microwave (HPM) sources and systems.

- Plan and execute laboratory and field tests, including defining test objectives, developing test procedures, and analysing data.

- Develop high-speed diagnostic and data-acquisition systems to characterise pulsed-power and HPM devices and systems.

- Implement measurement techniques for high-voltage, high-current, high-frequency, and fast-transient systems.

- Collaborate with engineers to integrate and troubleshoot complex pulsed-power systems.

- Support laboratory and field operations, including experimental setup and testing.

- Document designs, test procedures, results, and technical recommendations through engineering reports and presentations.

**Basic Qualifications:**

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 4+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree with 2+ years of relevant experience.

- Experience with hands-on designing, testing, or operating pulsed-power devices and systems.

- Familiarity with high-voltage and/or high-current pulsed systems.

- Experience with laboratory testing and characterisation of pulsed-power and/or HPM systems.

- Proficiency with data acquisition and analysis tools such as oscilloscopes, MATLAB, Python, or LabVIEW.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills.

- Ability to work effectively in a laboratory environment.

- Must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience with high-power microwave (HPM) sources, amplifiers, antennas, or microwave measurement systems.

- Familiarity with nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs).

- Experience with high-voltage/high-current switching and triggering.

- Experience with pulsed-power diagnostics.

- Experience designing systems for low-jitter synchronisation and timing.

- Experience conducting outdoor or field testing of pulsed-power or HPM systems.

**Pay Range:** $87,100.00 - $157,450.00
