Technician for tests of magnets and components Job in Geneva, , Switzerland

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

Technician for tests of magnets and components Job Description

Functions
The successful candidate will participate in the operation of installations and magnet testing, both at room and cryogenic temperatures. Under the supervision of skilled test engineers, in collaboration with other groups, and depending on the specific device and test required, she or he will configure and exploit the measuring systems and participate in data acquisition and data analysis. The job also entails maintenance of existing test infrastructure, as well as the development, manufacturing and commissioning of new instrumentation for the test installations.

The duties of the selected candidate will be:

• To participate in cryogenic powering test of superconducting magnets, components and devices, such as bus bars, diodes and current transfer labels. This work implies the preparation of the device to be tested, cabling and instrumentation schemes, setting-up of the instrumentation, electrical testing at room and at cryogenic temperatures and cold test operation through the different applications used in the control room (typically written in the NI-LabVIEW and NI-Diadem languages).
• To set up and adjust custom-developed electronics used for the device protection, verification of the interlock system and communication with support groups.
• To inspect, test, adjust and repair electric, electronic, mechanical and pneumatic instruments and systems used to indicate, record and control signals used for the operations in the cryogenic test facility at CERN.
• Troubleshooting problems affecting electrical and powering tests, if necessary with expert support from other groups.
• Participation in the installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of new test stands.
• Maintenance and calibration of instrumentation, and replacing and/or repairing defective parts.
• Documenting events, updating or creating operating procedures accordingly.

Technician for tests of magnets and components Job Requirements

Experience:

• Demonstrated experience in testing electrical systems. Testing of superconducting materials, devices, magnets or other components would be an asset.
• Proven experience in the exploitation of large industrial control systems or acquisition systems including associated electronics hardware and software technologies.
• Experience in LabVIEW and Diadem would be an asset.
• Initial experience in the application of safety analysis and measures in complex systems.
