Electrical Engineer for Magnet Protection
Your responsibilities involve helping to safeguard the magnets powering high-energy facilities.
In this role, you will be involved in electrical system design, procurement, and commissioning of future magnet protection units. These systems are critical to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of complex magnetic installations.
Your work will focus on designing, simulating, integrating, and validating electrical systems that include power capacitors, thyristors, control electronics, and related components. These systems form part of advanced technologies such as Coupling-Loss Induced Quench (CLIQ) and its derivatives.
In this position, you will:
* Carry out circuit simulations for new CLIQ-like systems, including Energy Shift with Coupling (ESC), External-Coupled-Loss Induced Quench (E-CLIQ), and Capacitive Discharge (CD) units;
* Design new ESC, E-CLIQ, and CD systems, and contribute to upgrading existing CLIQ systems;
* Support procurement of components such as power capacitors, oversee their validation and mechanical integration into electrical racks;
* Collaborate with design and production engineers to ensure systems meet technical and project requirements;
* Participate in acceptance testing of completed units;
* Analyse test data, assist in identifying and resolving issues, and contribute to design improvements.
Required Skills and Qualifications
Experience and/or knowledge in electrical design, electronic circuit design, hands-on experience with testing tools, and proficiency in English are essential. Familiarity with French is an added advantage.
Benefits
A competitive monthly stipend, comprehensive health scheme, pension fund membership, installation grant, family, child, and infant allowances, payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract, and 30 days of paid leave per year are offered.
Others
The successful candidate must be willing to undergo medical clearance before a contract offer is confirmed. This position involves working in radiation areas, interventions in underground installations, and operations on electrical installations or in their vicinity requiring specific authorisation.
