Job Description:

Introduction

Are you an enthusiastic Software Engineer interested in the development of the Control Systems using advanced IT technologies for Cryogenic Applications?

Cryogenics play a vital role in CERN’s accelerators, detectors, and test facilities, especially in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Ensuring their precise and uninterrupted operation is essential for maintaining the high reliability and availability required for physics experiments. At CERN’s Cryogenic Group (CRG), the Instrumentation & Controls (IC) section is responsible for the operability, first-line support, and ongoing development of large-scale process control systems.

Functions

1. Analyse and optimize the process controls system architecture, integrating hardware technologies like PLCs and field buses, and the automatic software production methodology to enhance efficiency and reliability;
2. Design, develop, and deploy High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) cryogenics process controls systems, ensuring successful commissioning and operational handover. Contribute to research and development (R&D) initiatives aimed at advancing cryogenic infrastructures for future projects;
3. Provide technical and operational support for LHC accelerator and detector process controls systems;
4. Act as IT expert, managing the continuous integration framework for automatic software production;
5. Analyse operational needs or user feedback to guide technical development.

Qualifications

Master's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Computing Engineering or Automation Engineering or a related field.

Experience:

Demonstrated experience in the following IT technologies:

• Python and bash programming;
• GitLab CI development, configuration, and maintenance;
• Code refactoring, optimization, and testing;
• Databases (Oracle) and data manipulation (SQL & JSON);
• Linux and Windows-based servers administration;
• Docker containerization;

Experience in the following Process Controls and Automation Technologies:

• PLC programming using structured languages;
• Configuring Siemens and Schneider PLCs;
• Profibus and Profinet fieldbuses configuration;
• SCADA supervision configuration;
• Design and implementation of digital control systems;
• Functional analysis of control systems;
• Testing, diagnosing and optimization of software;
• Knowledge of programming techniques and languages;
• Configuration and implementation of industrial, monitoring, and control systems;
• Achieving Results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind;
• Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities;
• Solving Problems: identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them;
• Learning and Sharing Knowledge: keeping up-to-date with developments in own field of expertise and readily absorbing new information.

Spoken and written English in professional contexts and the willingness to learn French.
