Job Description
Your responsibilities
The BE-CEM-MTA team has developed a software framework called RADE using LabVIEW to facilitate the development of measurement and analysis applications. These tools aim to increase the efficiency of target production and development, and assist operators and users in tuning ion sources and machines.
You will join the RILIS support team and help improve the framework. Your tasks will involve developing solutions that integrate into the existing control infrastructure using MTA tools. This role offers a valuable opportunity to learn through close collaboration with physicists and laser experts, gaining an understanding of accelerator control basics.
Specifically, you will:
* Use LabVIEW on Windows and/or Linux depending on the environment.
* Develop monitoring and control systems using LabVIEW Real-Time and FPGA.
* Participate in the development, installation, and maintenance of applications at facilities such as RILIS and the photoemission lab.
* Work within the RADE development team and adhere to BE-CEM-MTA standards.
* Study the operation of CERN beam lines.
* Implement dedicated tools according to internal client requirements and CEM guidelines.
* Develop automated tests for the tools using Jenkins.
* Document work on the section's Wiki pages.
* Support deployed applications and participate in their maintenance.
Your profile
Skills:
* Knowledge of software engineering practices (source code management and bug tracking).
* Knowledge of LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time, and LabVIEW FPGA.
* Knowledge of Python (advantage).
* Knowledge of Jenkins (advantage).
* Ability to work in a team.
* Basic knowledge of Linux and Windows.
* Proficiency in spoken and written English or French, with a willingness to learn the basics of the other language.
By the application deadline, you should have:
* Maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Software Engineering or a related field.
* Highest educational qualification of either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
* Never held a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
* No eligibility for applicants without a university degree or with a PhD.
Additional Information
Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months.
Working hours: 40 hours per week.
Job reference: BE-CEM-MTA-2025-81-GRAE
Field of work: Software Engineering and IT.
What we offer
* A monthly stipend between 5196 and 5716 Swiss Francs (net of tax).
* Coverage by CERN's health scheme for yourself, spouse, and children, and membership in the CERN Pension Fund.
* Additional benefits depending on circumstances, such as installation grants, allowances, and travel expenses.
* 30 days of paid leave per year.
* On-the-job and formal training at CERN, including language courses.
About us
At CERN, physicists and engineers explore the fundamental structure of the universe using the world's largest scientific instruments. They study the basic constituents of matter—fundamental particles—colliding at near light speed to uncover insights into the laws of nature. More information at http://home.cern.
Diversity has been a core value of CERN since its inception, and employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
