Job Summary

The Chemical Sensors Lab in the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department is currently searching for an Electrical Engineer to work with a cross-disciplinary team focused on developing biogeochemical sensors and instrumentation for ocean and environmental applications. Areas of interest include the ocean carbon system, coral reef health, microplastics, sea level rise, and deep ocean exploration. Significant duties include designing, prototyping, testing, and characterizing various sensor systems on the lab bench, leading electrical engineering tasks including board design and fabrication, and subsequently deploying and validating the sensors at sea. Familiarity with optics or optical sensing and/or ocean sensors is a plus. Strong technical skills and ability to document engineering designs required. A desire to propose and pursue novel ideas and technologies is encouraged. This is a regular, full-time, exempt position, and is eligible for benefits.

This is an entry to early career level position designed to encourage the connection and application of academic training to results-oriented projects in support of scientific and research activities. Initially this position will have direct supervision to achieve structured and assigned objectives, and is expected to later expand to broader and more independent tasks. The candidate will be expected to work on tasks requiring creativity and independent thinking, along with a proven understanding of fundamental research and engineering principles. The candidate will have expertise in electrical engineering through either a recognized degree or through experience at a previous engineering position.
