Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is the building site for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a one-of-a-kind nuclear physics research facility. The EIC will be a discovery machine for unlocking the secrets of the "glue" that binds the building blocks of visible matter in the universe. The machine design is based on the existing and highly optimized RHIC Ion-Ion collider. It will consist of two intersecting accelerators, one producing an intense beam of electrons, the other a beam of protons or heavier atomic nuclei which are steered into collisions. Beyond sparking scientific discoveries in a new frontier of fundamental physics, the Electron-Ion Collider will trigger technological breakthroughs that have broad-ranging impact on human health and national challenges.

Position Description

The Accelerator Systems Integration Engineer in the EIC will provide oversight and coordination of various critical activities, including defining performance requirements, managing cross-system interfaces, and supporting design reviews. Additionally, the role will support installation and removal activities as the EIC project advances into installation phases. The Systems Engineer will help to collaborate and coordinate EIC Systems Engineering responsibilities across all technical teams, ensuring effective and timely communication and continuity in systems integration and verification processes.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead and support requirements development by coordinating with physicists, engineers, and subsystem leads to gather, validate, and document performance requirements, ensuring completeness and technical accuracy.
