Position overview:
The Experiment Control Systems (ECS) division within the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Directorate at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking a Controls and Data Systems Integration Engineer to design, implement, and sustain advanced hardware and software solutions for both commercial and highly customized scientific instrumentation in one of several experimental halls.
In this role, you will design, integrate, and operate distributed control and data acquisition systems spanning motion control, vacuum, timing, detectors, laser diagnostics, and scientific instrumentation.
These systems support reliable experimental operations and high-performance data collection at kHz–MHz event rates, enabling reproducible measurements and efficient operation for a diverse international user community.
You will report to a Group Lead within the ECS Controls and Data Systems Owners Department and be part of a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for delivering integrated solutions spanning scientific instruments, laser systems, controls, and data acquisition.
As the Controls and Data System Owner (CDSO) for one of LCLS’s scientific instruments, you will be responsible for its technical roadmap, operational reliability, controls architecture, and data systems, supporting a world-leading X-ray science program.
You will provide technical leadership for the instrument’s controls and data systems architecture, ensuring maintainability, scalability, and alignment with evolving scientific requirements.
This includes evolving controls infrastructure to support next-generation experiments that push the limits of spatiotemporal resolution, stability, and data throughput at the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL).
LCLS offers unparalleled capability in photon energy range, peak power, and pulse duration, enabling researchers to probe the structure and dynamics of matter at the atomic scale and on ultrafast timescales.
The successful candidate will contribute directly to experiments at the forefront of ultrafast science, enabling discoveries in quantum materials, chemistry, biology, and energy sciences.
This position plays a critical role in maintaining and advancing these capabilities through disciplined engineering practices, rigorous commissioning, and a strong culture of safety and operational excellence.

SLAC is an E-Verify employer.
As a national laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is responsible for adhering to the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, which require employees to obtain and maintain a HSPD-12 Personal Identify Verification (PIV) Credential.
To obtain this credential, employees must successfully complete the applicable tier of federal background investigation post hire and receive a favorable federal adjudication.
The tier of federal background investigation will be determined by job duties and national security or public trust responsibilities associated with the job.
All tiers of investigation include a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last 1 to 7 years (depending on the applicable tier of investigation).
Illegal drug activities include marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws.
For foreign national candidates:
If you have not resided in the U.S. for three consecutive years, you are not eligible for the PIV credential and instead will need to obtain a favorable Local Site Specific Only (LSSO) Federal risk determination to maintain employment.
Once you meet the three-year residency requirement, you will be required to obtain a PIV credential to maintain employment.
The tier of federal background investigation required to obtain the PIV credential will be determined by job duties at the time you become eligible for the PIV credential.
