The Particle Physics & Astro-Physics Research Engineering Group at Stanford/SLAC (http://www.slac.stanford.edu)
is looking for a software developer. If you want to find more or if you like to email your resume, please contact Gunther Haller [email protected] 

 The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), located at SLAC, will begin 
operation in 2009 as the world's first x-ray free-electron laser, 
producing ultra-fast pulses of coherent x-rays with unprecedented 
brightness.  A suite of x-ray instruments for exploiting the unique 
LCLS scientific capabilities will be produced.  All these different 
instruments will adopt a common control system. This system is a 
heterogeneous platform comprised of VME and cPCI single board 
computers running RTEMS and servers running Linux.  The successful 
candidate will develop client and server applications to control and 
monitor the vacuum system, motion, viewing, the laser system and the 
various components of the different LCLS & LUSI experiments.

  Required Skills

  The candidate must possess an advanced degree (MS or PhD) in 
computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, or related 
field or equivalent combination of education and training.  The 
applicant must have extensive demonstrated programming skills with 
C and C++.
In depth knowledge of the EPICS channel access protocol, of EPICS 
records, fields, databases and sequencers is required. Experience 
with programming host-based and target IOCs, experience with device 
support and with client tools like MEDM/EDM, Strip Tool, ALH are 
 desired.
 Excellent communications skills and ability to work well in a 
research and development team are required.
