SRI International's Advanced Technology and Systems Division (ATSD) performs research and development across a wide range of disciplines, from novel materials development to mixed-signal integrated circuits, spanning design to implementation of advanced optical, quantum, radar, and imaging systems, transitioning technology from basic R&D to fieldable prototypes. We conduct this R&D for a wide variety of US government clients, with applications ranging from basic scientific exploration to national security.

Our SRI campus in Princeton, NJ has an immediate opening for a Research Engineer, Electrical Engineer within ATSD, to support the growth of our activities in electronic circuit and system design. 

They will be part of a close-knit team of applied physicists and engineers working on leading-edge R&D projects to realize proof-of-concept demonstrations for our government and commercial customers.  Based on an understanding of underlying electronic device physics as well as device and circuit-level architectures, the Research Engineer will be involved in the detailed analysis, design, fabrication, and implementation of advanced prototype electronic systems.  The activity will be very hands-on, operating over a variety of projects, many of them related to national security. 

The Research Engineer must have solid technical knowledge in mixed-signal electronic circuits and systems, electronic device physics, and physical measurements and instrumentation, as well as a familiarity with RF, electronic materials and devices, and common lab measurement equipment. 

Skills should include:

• Solid technical knowledge of principles of electrical engineering.
• Analyzing, designing, and testing mixed-signal electronic circuits
• Familiarity with physical measurements and laboratory instrumentation
• Knowledge of electromagnetics
• Physical and mechanical intuition

They should be able to contribute at the individual level, with guidance from more senior group members, with a goal to develop into a principal investigator of innovative R&D proposals and programs.

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering.  New graduates are welcome to apply, while industry experience is also a plus. 
• Due to government requirements, U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain/maintain/transfer a DOD Security Clearance is required.
• Programming experience for analysis, simulation, and instrumentation (e.g. with MATLAB, C#, Python, LabVIEW)
• Modeling and Computer Aided Design, e.g. COMSOL, HFSS, SolidWorks

Intangible qualities:

• Self-motivated
• Detail-oriented
• Effective in a laboratory environment
• Able to work in a team environment
• Must possess a results-oriented approach
• An interest in multiple technical area

The salary range is: $93,608-$139,242.  Salary ranges will vary and are based on several factors, including geographic location, market competitiveness and equity amongst internal employees in similar roles.  SRI has a competitive benefits package, to view details please go to https://www.sri.com/resources/benefits/
