Where You Will Work
The Accelerator Operations and Technology (AOT) division's Radio Frequency Engineering (RFE) Group is seeking an Engineering Technologist to join its High Power RF (HPRF) Team.
The AOT Division is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and modernization of all accelerator systems at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). These systems include a 201.25 MHz drift-tube linear accelerator (LINAC) powered by high-power diacrode tubes, as well as an 805 MHz coupled-cavity LINAC powered by high-power klystrons. The facility also features a proton storage ring and approximately one kilometer of beam transport lines that deliver particle beams to five distinct research programs.
Within AOT, the RFE group oversees all radio frequency (RF) systems, pulsed modulators, and high-power DC supplies used to operate beamline magnets. The group is organized into two specialized teams:
The HPRF team is responsible for supporting the multi-megawatt RF systems that power both the 201.25 MHz and 805 MHz LINACs. This includes RF generation equipment such as klystrons and diacrodes, along with the high-voltage systems required for their operation. The team also operates the Electronics Test Laboratory (ETL), which supports the development, assembly, and testing of 805 MHz klystrons and high-voltage modulators.
Located in beautiful northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. Our generous benefits package includes:
