Electronic Instrumentation Engineer

NIST is looking for an Electronic Instrumentation Engineer to join the Applied Electrical Metrology group. This position involves supporting infrastructure by providing calibration services for AC voltage and phase angle. The role focuses on research to address metrology needs and advance the state of the art in optical, mechanical, and electrical systems.

This notice is issued under direct-hire authority to recruit new talent to occupations for which NIST has a severe shortage of candidates.

As an Electronic Instrumentation Engineer, this role focuses on providing expertise in metrology for precision electrical measurements, as well as in the electronic design and fabrication of components that support these measurement services.

The Candidate will:

• Participate as a creative member of a research team.
• Develop the design, testing, and analysis of a system to measure phase angles of electrical signals.
• Follow health, safety, and environment guidelines and procedures, and perform work that improves the safety of the work environment.
• Promote the phase angle measurement services to interested projects and stakeholders.
