Job Description
Introduction
Are you interested in the challenges of commissioning operating and maintaining complex fluidic systems for particle physics detectors Do you want to participate in the realization of the next generation CO2 cooling systems to cope with the most demanding requirements of the HLLHC experiments Take part!
You will join:
- The Experimental Physics (EP) Department which carries out basic research in the field of experimental particle physics in a stimulating scientific atmosphere stands as an important reference for the physics community. It also contributes to the education and training of young scientists.
- The Detector Technologies (DT) group participates in the development construction operation and maintenance of particle detectors and their technical infrastructure for the LHC experiments and several other experiments at CERN.
- The Fluidic Systems Section in charge of the design construction commissioning and operation of fluidic systems for detectors in CERN experiments. In particular the section must complete the installation and commissioning of the new CO2 cooling systems for the Phase 2 upgrades of the ATLAS and CMS experiments by the end of Long Shutdown 3 of the LHC.
Functions
As an Electrical Engineer in the Fluidic Systems Section you will:
- Participate in the long phase of installation testing and commissioning of the systems in the dedicated underground and surface facilities of the ATLAS and CMS experiments.
- Take part in the maintenance and operation of CO2 cooling systems including standby duty service within the EPDTFS section.
- Perform functional analysis and contribute to the definition and optimization of control software.
- Support the optimization of the performance of CO2 cooling systems.
Qualifications :
Masters degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Experience:
The experience required for this post includes:
- Demonstrated experience in PLCbased system programming and I/O commissioning including troubleshooting and fault finding.
- Proven experience in electrical schematic design and verification (experience in use of the EPLAN software would be an advantage).
- Good knowledge of the CO2 detector cooling process.
- Experience with CO2 refrigeration instrumentation and the specificities of lowtemperature operation.
- Proficiency in Schneider and Siemens PLC programming environments (preexisting knowledge of the CERN UNICOS framework would be an advantage).
Technical Competencies:
- Installation operation and maintenance of industrial dataacquisition monitoring and control systems.
- Functional analysis of control systems.
- Knowledge and application of advanced controls (nonlinear adaptative predictive etc..
- Operation and maintenance of cooling systems with emphasis on CO2based systems.
Behavioral Competencies:
- Achieving Results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
- Solving Problems: adopting a pragmatic approach; understanding the value of adopting generic rather than gold plated technical solutions.
- Demonstrating Flexibility: being able to deal with ambiguous or unpredictable situations.
- Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
Language skills:
Spoken and written English or French: ability to understand and speak the other language in professional contexts.
