Offer Description

Your responsibilities

The Accelerator Beam Transfer (ABT) group is in charge of the design, development, construction, installation, exploitation and maintenance of injection and extraction related equipment and associated equipment-level control systems and software.

In the Beam Transfer Controls (BTC) section:

  • You will take over existing control software, in particular the fast pulsed magnets timing system software, continue to deploy and maintain it, and with this experience design an upgraded system to adapt to new requirements and evolution of CERN controls technologies.
  • You will also provide more clever controls software, to improve diagnosis and automation of beam transfer controls, which includes getting the knowledge of hardware equipment and capturing the requirements from equipment experts, and developing algorithms which allow to distinguish faults which can be auto-reset from the ones needing expert intervention. Where applicable, machine learning shall be applied, and the system be designed envisaging its use for general hardware systems used in accelerators beyond the ABT group.
  • As a member of the ABT group you will be part of a multicultural diverse team working at the forefront of accelerator injection and extraction controls, working in a very stimulating environment that will help you develop your skills in control software portability in the era of AI implementation.
  • Good knowledge of programming techniques and object oriented languages (C++, Python);
  • Re-use, refactoring, integration and porting of existing software;
  • Development of software for embedded system and real-time systems with/without OS;
  • Development on Linux;
  • Some background knowledge in electronics and/or equipment controls would be an asset.
  • Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
