Speaking as a physicist, let me comment.

1. Learning to do a variety of engineering tasks is an important part of an experimental physicist's education. A good experimental physicist must be a more versatile engineer than most engineering specialists. This is exactly the kind of job a  Ph.D. student *should* be doing.

2. The specific problem mentioned was a "super noiseless detector circuit". Few EE's understand detector physics or noise physics well enough to tackle this.
