- Description
- SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy. As a management and operating contractor, subcontracts awarded by the Laboratory are not Federal procurements, and are not directly subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations in 48 CFR. Nonetheless, certain Federal laws, Executive Orders, and regulations may affect our DOE approved purchasing system, as required by statute, regulation, or contract terms and conditions. This is not a Request for Quote. Vendors interested in being considered as a potential source should identify themselves as an "interested party" via the FBO portal. Do not contact the Subcontract Administrator. SLAC seeks sources capable of providing the following: Controls Engineering - Systems Integration Support and Development The Software Department in the Instrumentation and Controls Division (ICD) at SLAC is seeking one or more Controls Engineering contractors to perform various on-site and occasional off-site controls engineering support. The specific quantity of engineers can vary due to SLAC funding profiles and project requirements. This position will develop, upgrade, configure, maintain, and commission distributed software control, data acquisition, and monitoring systems for accelerators such as LCLS, LCLS II, FACET, SPEAR and other experimental or research facilities. The engineer will work closely with other engineers to learn specific control implementations, applications, and best practices, while maintaining and enhancing subsystems assigned. This position uses expertise gained with the EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) toolkit extensively. This position has a multi-disciplinary role, teaming with software, hardware, project and physics engineers and will have continuous interaction with internal customers comprised mainly of accelerator physicists and operators. Specific contract responsibilities include but are not limited to the following duties: •Maintain and improve the existing EPICS control systems for SLAC facilities like LCLS I, FACET, XTA, ASTA. •Development and integration of new EPICS control systems (such as LCLS II and various upgrades to existing projects). •New software development (such as EPICS device support, Linux drivers, etc.). •Interface effectively with operations, accelerator physicists, and program managers. •Work collaboratively with team members and management. •Provide weekly written status reports to management and project office. •Perform troubleshooting, diagnostics analysis and provide corrective active proactively. •Responsible for occasional 24/7 support for subsystems assigned. •Accountable for understanding and ensuring compliance with safety regulations and quality standards of ICD. •Responsible for project management of self/engineering team in regard to project scope, cost, schedule, documentation and reporting.   Required skills: •Masters degree in Physics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field; or Bachelors of Science degree with a minimum of 3 years of related Controls Systems experience. •A minimum of three years of experience with the EPICS toolkit in industrial control, instrumentation, or research environment. •A minimum of three years of experience in developing control systems from inception to commissioning. •Demonstrated experience with EDM and EDM-based operational GUIs. •Demonstrated experience in C and/or C++.. •A minimum of three years' experience with Linux OS platform •A minimum of three years' experience with scripting languages such as bash or python. •A minimum of three years' experience with distributed data monitoring, networking and client /server application models. •Two support experiences in similar facilities like SLAC (such as other science laboratories or medical institutions) •One past project which included field buses, such as Ethernet or Modbus. •One past project which included computer buses such as VME, xTCA, PCI. •Demonstrated effective written and verbal communication skills. •Demonstrated ability to work and communicate effectively with a diverse population. •Demonstrated ability and willingness to quickly learn new technologies. •Strong problem solving skills, independent decision making, and ability to work in a team environment. •Must possess excellent organizational skills with attention to detail and the ability to manage several projects simultaneously.
