Applied Physicist/Engineer - ATLAS ITk Integration

What you'll do: The CERN ATLAS Team plays a major role in the construction and integration of the future silicon ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk). The different parts of the ITk system are being constructed and integrated in institutes and then transported to CERN where the entire ITk will be assembled. As an applied physicist or engineer in the CERN-ATL Team, you will join the Tracker section (EP-ATL-TRK) and work closely with the teams in the different institutes to synchronise the integration testing of the ATLAS ITk parts on surface, support their integration and commissioning into the ATLAS ITk and prepare the cavern commissioning. Your responsibilities: - Testing and verification of integrated ITk Strip Barrel and Endcap structures and services in the surface integration facility (SR1) at CERN. - Work closely with integration sites off CERN, e.g. DESY or NIKHEF, synchronise the testing and provide trouble shooting support for integration teams including support at the sites. - Develop software and hardware elements for the integration testing of ITk Barrel and Endcaps in the various integration sites and validate the procedures in SR1. - Streamline and document procedures for ITk integration testing and service validation and extend the testing procedures for the ITk Detector after installation and during commissioning. - Participate hands-on in the ITk Detector integration work in the ATLAS SR1 cleanroom and during ITk installation in the cavern including the preparation of equipment in the cavern. Your profile: - Proven experience in the integration, testing and operation of silicon detectors for high energy physics experiments. - Proven experience in integration and commissioning of silicon trackers including services validation. - Demonstrated experience in the development of DAQ/online software or detector control systems for silicon detectors in high energy physics experiments. - Demonstrated experience in developing and streamlining testing procedures. - Demonstrated experience in integration and commissioning of silicon trackers including services validation. - Previous work on particle detector operation in an experiment is advantageous. - Experience with the assembly of sensitive equipment in a clean room environment is advantageous. - Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Applied Physicist or Engineering or a related field. Your skills: - Testing and validation of detector, accelerator and beam line components. - Assembly and integration of detectors. - Construction, test and installation of electromechanical equipment and systems. - Development of application software. - Assembly and integration of infrastructure for detectors or experimental facilities. - Delivers high quality work on time and fulfils expectations. - Adapts quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements. - Builds and maintains constructive and effective work relationships. - Works well autonomously; takes on activities and tasks without prompting. - Expresses opinions, ideas and suggestions with conviction and in a logical/structured manner; keeps to the point. - Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French. Employment conditions: - A valid driving licence. - Work in Radiation Areas. - Interventions in underground installations. - Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
