Instrumentation Design and Fabrication Facility

The newly established Instrumentation Design and
Fabrication Facility (IDFF) will enable high-end
scientific instrument design and fabrication for
the diverse research applications of the University's 79 laboratories.

Through interactive engagement with Rockefeller
scientists, the IDFF will provide end-to-end
service from conceptualization to application of
scientific instrumentation. The IDFF will be
staffed by a team with complementary expertise in
optical design, mechanical design, and
fabrication, electronics design, and precision
fabrication. The candidate will interface
effectively with engineers at the IDFF and/or
engage directly with research laboratories.

As an Engineer in the IDFF, you will:

· support Rockefeller laboratories by
realizing instrument solutions to address specific scientific needs
· provide systems-level integration of
different modules, including mechanical,
electronic, optical, and software components
· engage with laboratories to identify and refine instrument designs
· efficiently leverage available local
and external fabrication resources to fabricate systems modules
· assemble, test, and document developed
instrument solutions before their transition to the research laboratories

· interactively and iteratively
troubleshoot designed instruments and implement required adjustments

You need:

· a Bachelor's degree in mechanical,
optical, systems engineering, or a related field
· minimum of 1-3 years of increasingly
responsible roles within a high-end engineering
or scientific environment required
· excellent working experience and
knowledge of 3D mechanical design software such
as SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or related software
· working knowledge and experience with
optical design software such as ZEMEX, OLSO, or related software
· knowledge and experience with design of
basic electronics circuits for hardware control
· knowledge and experience with hardware
control software such as Lab View and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FGPA)
· experience with efficient outsourcing
of electrics and mechanical designs, ideally with
an established working relationship with several vendors


You are:

· enthusiastic and keenly interested in
scientific research and engineering, in
particular in the areas of neuroscience,
biophysics, biology, physics/optics,
bioengineering, and/or electrical engineering
· highly organized, have outstanding
interpersonal and communication skills, and the
ability to create and maintain excellent working
relationships in a team environment
· excited to work as an integral member
of a relatively small and close-knit team, and
willing to take on a broad range of tasks, as needed

· results-oriented and willing to do
whatever is necessary to get the job done

You ideally have:

· knowledge of common scientific
programing languages such as Matlab, Mathematica or Python
· hands on experience with mechanical
workshop machinery including, lathe, milling
machines, CNC mills and 3D printers
· experience with micro fabrication tools and techniques

· technical proficiency with Word, Excel,
Power Point, Adobe illustrator or Photoshop
