High Voltage Pulsed Power Engineer
Varian Medical Systems, Inc., San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Together, we can beat cancer.At Varian, a Siemens Healthineers Company, we bring together the world's best talent to realize our vision of a world without fear of cancer. Together, we work passionately to develop and deliver easy-to-use, efficient oncology solutions.We are looking for an experienced electrical engineer to work on our high voltage and pulsed power components, particularly on integrating them into our microwave linear accelerator systems for radiation oncology.The candidate should have a strong background in high voltage, pulsed power, power electronics, charged particle/plasma physics, and especially in their systems integration. This will entail the capability to design and program electrical circuits and troubleshoot communication interfaces. A background in charged particle or plasma physics is a plus. The successful candidate needs to be able to independently design, construct, debug, execute, and interpret experiments.We are looking for a team player who combines a strong technical background with superb practical hands-on aptitude and project leadership skills. The ability to collaborate effectively in a multi-disciplinary team is essential, as are the ability to efficiently manage project timelines and supplier collaborations in a fast-paced environment.
This role requires the successful candidate to reside in Palo Alto or near the Palo Alto area to support this role 100% on-site.Responsibilities will include:Continuing improvement and systems integration of high voltage and pulsed power electrical systems for microwave linear accelerator (linac) applications.Design, execution, and interpretation of experiments.Specification development and validation test design.Provide scope, cost, and schedule estimates for research and engineering projects.Coordinate resources needed to complete a task or project and ensure project execution to budget and timelines.Troubleshooting and root cause analyses to understand component and system failures.Work with other scientists, engineers, and suppliers to review and solve difficult technical issues.Provide support and expertise to Manufacturing to help with out-of-box failures.Provide support to Field Service Engineering groups when they are unable to troubleshoot problems in the field.Improve documentation, baseline data, and operating and maintenance procedures.Job Requirements:MS/Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Plasma Physics, Engineering Physics, or similar field.5+ years of relevant experience in the design, construction, implementation, integration, and maintenance of pulsed power systems.Experience operating relevant lab equipment.Highly motivated team player who can also work independently.Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills.Ability to interact effectively with experts in multiple disciplines.Excellent communication and presentation skills.Fighting cancer calls for big ideas.We envision a world without fear of cancer. Achieving this vision takes dedication and commitment from all of us, every single day. That's why we celebrate and value the distinctly beautiful and intersectional identities of each of our employees. We are a mirror of our patient-base, which allows us to innovate.
