About The Position

Teledyne Scientific Company (TSC) is seeking a Temporary Member of Technical Staff – Research Engineer (Entry-Level) position in the Electronics Division, in support of Teledyne’s Chip-Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) products. This 6 month temporary position has the potential to transition into a permanent role contingent upon future award funding. Teledyne is at the forefront of developing cutting edge technologies in High Frequency Electronics, Optical Systems, Photonics, Position, Navigation, & Timing Solutions. The CSAC group designs and manufactures a miniaturized atomic clock, responsible for keeping extremely precise time (e.g. for use in GPS, high-speed communications, and navigation systems). The CSAC operates on the quantum mechanical principle of coherent population trapping (CPT), using a laser to interrogate an atomic vapor cell, and processing the resulting signal to produce an atomically stabilized frequency source. The position is primarily located at TSC’s Thousand Oaks, CA facility.
