Position Summary: The JCCC Electronics Technology department is seeking a full-time faculty instructor to teach courses in analog and digital electronics. Our program prepares students to work as electronic technicians. All our coursework combines classroom and hands-on laboratory experiences; critical thinking skills emphasized include troubleshooting and analysis.

Our digital electronics sequence covers a wide range of topics including binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic Boolean algebra, logic gates, registers, flip-flops, computer architecture, microprocessors, microcontrollers, embedded programming concepts, and analog/digital interfacing. The sequence culminates in a capstone experience where students implement a unique digital system centered around a microcontroller.

Applicants wishing to teach in the digital sequence must possess a strong knowledge of digital electronics and current computer architecture, especially embedded systems, along with practical experience in programming languages (assembly to C++) and development environments. Analog and mixed signal skills are essential.

Our analog sequence includes an introduction to the field, AC/DC circuit theory (with emphasis on analysis and troubleshooting), semiconductor devices, and electronic communication systems. The applicant needs a strong knowledge of passive devices, diodes, transistors, FETs and the ability to teach students how to analyze and troubleshoot circuits and systems using contemporary test equipment including meters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other related equipment.

Required Qualifications:

• Demonstrated ability to convey complex technical material to a diverse audience using a minimal mathematical approach (algebra / trigonometry.)

• Use of electronic test equipment in troubleshooting of analog and digital circuitry to the component level (ISCET CETa certification is required within 6 months of hire.)

• Breadboarding using discrete and integrated circuitry.

• Soldering for both through-hole and surface mount (SMT) technologies (IPC 610 certification is a plus, but not required.)

• Use of appropriate safety measures for electronic maintenance and fabrication.

Preferred Skill

• Experience in prototyping systems and/or circuit board layout using Cadence OrCAD or a similar system.

• Use of simulation software (PSPICE core) to model circuit behavior.

• Development of application solutions for microcontrollers/microprocessor systems using an integrated development environment (IDE) and specific toolchain.

• Ability to work in a mixed analog/digital environment including PCs and TCP/IP networking (comp TIAA+ certification a plus)

• 2 year AAS degree.

• 5+ years of experience in a related field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Masters or higher degree in electronic engineering or technology, with industry experience in the role of a technician or technologist in analog and/or digital electronics areas such as chip manufacturing, RF communication (FCC commercial license a plus), computer/digital control systems (5+ years in C++/assembler within embedded environments a plus), two or more years of experience teaching within a community college (curriculum development a plus), medical electronics, or avionics.

To be considered for this position we will require an application, resume, and cover letter.

• Unofficial transcripts are required for all Adjunct faculty and Faculty positions.

Position Details: Job duties include but are not limited to:

• Duties and responsibilities, as required by business necessity, may be added, deleted or changed at any time at the discretion of management, formally or informally, either verbally or in writing.
