About the Role:
Join the Fermilab team at the Computational Science and AI Directorate (CSAID) as a Controls Engineer! In this role, you will design and implement electronics systems, firmware, and software to read out sensor data and control experiments.

What your day-to-day as a Controls Engineer at Fermilab will look like:
Design and implement electronics systems, firmware, and software to read out sensor data and control experiments.
Develop specifications and requirements for data-intensive experimental readout systems for scientific experiments, detectors, and accelerators at Fermilab and the DOE.
Design and implement firmware for microcontrollers and FPGAs that manage timing, synchronization, and low-latency data acquisition on detector frontend modules, enabling real-time trigger decisions, error-correction handling, and closed-loop feedback control for precise regulation of detector operating parameters.
Develop software to interface with firmware and hardware components for users to operate detector and accelerator components.
Plan months-long projects for a readout system to deliver readout and control systems on time and budget.
Document findings, report on, and present deliverables and milestones to project stakeholders.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of physicists, technicians, and engineers to support the scientific goals of experiments, detectors, and accelerators.
