High Power & Radiofrequency (RF) Systems Engineer

Nusano•Salt Lake City, UT

12d

About The Position

We are seeking an experienced High Power & RF Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the development and maintenance of the high power systems that make up Nusano’s production platforms, primarily its Linear accelerator. These (may) include pulsed magnet power supplies, ion source high voltage circuits, and radiofrequency systems that drive the Linac. The two main RF systems are each composed of a klystron, modulator, circulator with up to 2MW peak and 300kW average power at 325 MHz. These systems require specialized knowledge in high power RF design and operation. High availability of these systems is a must for Nusano to meet its radioisotope production goals. Future responsibilities in this discipline may include Nusano’s next generation particle production and radioisotope separation machines.
