Job DescriptionJob Description

Need a person to assist in scintillator detector design, prototyping, assembly, and test for the scintillator planes that are to be used in underwater detectors.

• Assist in facility setup
• Prepare prototypes and develop final assembly procedures
• Prepare scintillator samples for light yield measurement. Measure samples using existing system and record data in excel.
• Assist in detector production
• Support operation of the extrusion line. Assist in both the running of the extrusion line and QC of the resultant parts.

We are interested in technicians who have at least 3-years' experience with radiation detectors, including plastic scintillator detectors. Experience in the following desirable:

• Extruded scintillator or fiber scintillator detectors.
• Radiation detector assembly and test.
• Radiation detector readout and test
• Radiation detector system mechanical design and assembly

A candidate with work experience in one or more of these areas is desired:

•Profile extrusion, including line operation and die and sizer design fundamentals.

•Injection molding, including machine operation and mold design.

•Plastics testing and analysis.

Expected deliverables:

• Report on activities and results from tests, measurements, and assembly.
