Electronics Technical Engineer for the protection of the LHC superconducting magnets

Company Description:

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Job Description/Introduction:

Are you a passionate Electronics Technical Engineer who would like to participate in the operation, test, manufacturing and development of electronic equipment pertaining to the quench protection systems for the superconducting magnets of the most complex particle accelerator? Take part!

The Electronics Technical Engineer designs CERN's electronics infrastructure and systems. He/she is also involved in producing, installing, commissioning, operating and maintaining CERN's electronics infrastructure and systems, notably those required for the accelerator complex.

In the Technology (TE) department*, Machine Protection and Electrical Integrity (MPE) Group, you will take responsibility for the design, procurement, implementation and exploitation of custom-made electronics for the LHC quench protection systems of the superconducting magnet circuits. These magnet circuits store an extremely large amount of energy and for this reason its protection system needs to fulfil the highest safety standards.

• TE department: http://te-dep.web.cern.ch/

Functions

• Maintain, operate and troubleshoot systems of complex, custom-made, highly reliable electronics used in safety critical protection applications for the accelerator superconducting magnet circuits.
• Participate in the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the hardware components of the protection system for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) superconducting magnet circuits.
• Support the design and development of custom-made digital and analog electronics.

Contribute to the development and commissioning of state-of-the-art automatic test equipment.

• Organise acceptance tests and ensure the effective reception of new electronics.
• Ensure the availability of various protection systems during the LHC machine operation.
• Prepare and compile relevant documentation;
• Maintain and keep up-to-date the databases related to maintenance and operation of the various components.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Electronics engineering or a related field.

Experience

Proven experience in the field of electronics focusing on digital electronics (programmable devices), mixed signal and embedded systems.

Experience in maintenance and operation of complex electronic systems.

Experience in the testing of electronics and in measurement techniques.

Experience in electronic design automation, circuit schematics and PCB design.

Experience in programming languages (C, Python) and CAE tools would be an asset.

Technical competencies:

• Design and simulation of digital electronic circuits
• Design and simulation of analog electronic circuits
• Knowledge and application of quality and reliability assurance techniques in electronics
• Commissioning, operation & maintenance of electronic systems.

Behavioural competencies:

• Managing Self: working well autonomously; taking on activities and tasks without prompting Using time efficiently and effectively
• Achieving Results: being rigorous and producing quality results at first attempt
• Solving Problems: identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them Recognizing what is essential; discriminating between important and peripheral information and being able to see the whole picture
• Working in Teams: building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships
• Communicating Effectively: providing others with timely information

Language skills:

Spoken and written English or French: ability to draw up technical documentation in English; the ability to speak the other language or an undertaking to acquire it rapidly.
