The Advanced Imager Technology Group performs research and development of imager devices and subsystem-level technology for the DoD and scientific community. The imager efforts include advanced silicon-based and compound semiconductor-based focal-plane technologies for applications such as ground- and space-based surveillance, adaptive optics, and astronomy. These focal planes address special requirements, for example, large-format gigapixel arrays, very-high-speed imagers (100 ps exposures), time-of-arrival detectors (LADAR receiver), and low-light-level imaging applications. World-class charge-coupled-device (CCD) imagers fabricated by this group have been used in a variety of high-end scientific applications, for example, focal planes for the Chandra X-ray telescope and other preeminent astronomical observatories. The group's efforts span the range of device and materials development, integrated circuit design and fabrication, custom packaging, detector hybridization, and the development of control and readout electronics for system-level demonstrations.

The Advanced Imager Technology Group is seeking summer microelectronics interns to support microelectronics development and testing as well as semiconductor device fabrication and characterization.  The work will involve hands-on lab work as well as creating code and scripts for image processing, data acquisition, analysis and presentation. 

The ideal candidates should be proficient in Matlab, C, embedded computation and/or Python and familiar with Linux.   Candidate must be pursuing a BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related engineering field with at least one year of academic credits.  The students must be US citizens.

Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
