Responsibilities

Analyze, model, and mitigate electrical-breakdown and insulation challenges in high-voltage structures and circuits

Design kilovolt-to-megavolt electrostatic systems—for example using Marx generators, Cockcroft‑Walton stacks, or Pelletrons —for particle beam acceleration and cooling

Architect RF power and energy recovery systems using Klystrons, Magnetrons, waveguides, and similar components

Build multiphysics models incorporating electromagnetics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and particle transport

Build prototypes and conduct lab tests

Generate clear design docs, test plans, and risk analyses that support rapid iteration and safe operations

Travel with the team (including international travel) to integrate your hardware at beamline facilities and carry out experiments
