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, assisting operators and users in tuning ion sources and machines.
You will join the RILIS support team to help improve the framework. Your tasks will include developing solutions that integrate into the existing control infrastructure using MTA tools. This role offers a valuable opportunity to collaborate closely with physicists and laser experts, gaining a fundamental understanding of accelerator control systems.
Specifically, you will:
1. Use LabVIEW on Windows and/or Linux depending on the environment.
2. Develop monitoring and control systems using LabVIEW Real-Time and FPGA.
3. Participate in the development, installation, and maintenance of applications in facilities such as RILIS and the photoemission lab.
4. Work within the RADE development team, adhering to BE-CEM-MTA standards.
5. Learn how CERN beam lines operate.
6. Implement dedicated tools according to internal client requirements and CEM guidelines.
7. Develop automated tests for the tools using Jenkins.
8. Document your work on our section's Wiki pages.
9. Support deployed applications and participate in their maintenance.

About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers probe 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 collide at nearly the speed of light. These experiments provide insights into particle interactions and the fundamental laws of nature. More information is available at http://home.cern.
Diversity has been a core value of CERN since its inception. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
