Your responsibilities
Have you ever wanted to be involved in the CERN process for qualifying electronics to be installed in the CERN accelerators? CERN irradiation facilities are used to test and qualify electronics and systems in harsh environment like the one in the CERN accelerators. If you relish a challenge, join CERN' s Electronics Production and Radiation Tolerance section and realize your potential. Take part!
You will join the Beams Department (BE), the Controls Electronics and Mechatronics Group (CEM), and in particular the Electronics Production and Radiation Tolerance section (EPR), responsible for the Electronics Radiation Effects Monitoring in the CERN accelerator complex and for the coordination, dosimetry, and operation of the CERN electronics radiation test facilities of CHARM (CERN High Energy Accelerator Mixed-field facility) and CC60 (CERN Cobalt-60 facility).
This role is centered on enhancing the system testing support, particularly focusing on component testing for the ATS sector in the CHARM facility. The primary objective is to deliver fast and prompt support throughout the testing processes, from setup preparation and support, to data analysis.
In this role, you will:

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.
