Jobbeschreibung

Overview

For our Undulator Systems group we are looking for a candidate to develop and integrate superconducting undulators (SCUs) in the EuXFEL as part of the facility development program. The SUNDAE2 measurement system is central to this program. SUNDAE2 is a horizontal test stand employing three primary in-vacuum methods for high-precision magnetic characterization: Hall Probe, Moving Wire, and Pulsed Wire systems. The main task is to coordinate the operation of SUNDAE2 in collaboration with colleagues from the UNSYS group and DESY technical groups.

Responsibilities

• Integration, commissioning, and optimization of mechanical, electrical, and motion-control systems of SUNDAE2.
• Operate, maintain, and further develop the SUNDAE2 Hall probe measurement system for the characterization of superconducting undulators.
• Specify, procure, and integrate new instrumentation, sensors, and hardware components in collaboration with internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
• Develop and improve measurement procedures.
• Design and maintain mechanical and electrical documentation, including 3D models and technical drawings in NX and electrical schematics.

Qualifications

• Master's degree or equivalent in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Experience with precision measurement systems, motion-control systems, sensors, and instrumentation.
• Knowledge of magnetic measurement techniques, Hall probe systems, or accelerator magnet characterization is highly desirable.
• Experience with data analysis and scientific programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar).
• Familiarity with electrical design software such as EPLAN is an advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work both independently and in multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent communication skills in English.

What we offer

Be part of a vibrant international and multi-cultural team of scientists, engineers, technical and administrative staff. You will be involved in cutting-edge scientific progress and participate in our international networks. Experience our atmosphere of tolerance and respect.

Compensation & benefits

• Transparent compensation aligned with public service organizations in Germany.
• Salary range: min. 13/1 with 4,901.70€ - max. 13/6 with €7,025.87; the actual level is defined by experience.
• Annual special payment of 75-95% of one month’s salary, depending on pay group.
• Partially funded public transportation Deutschlandticket.
• Generous company pension scheme (6.45% of monthly salary).

Support and development

• Extensive relocation benefits to help you settle in smoothly.
• English as company language, enabling easy collaboration in an international environment.
• Extensive training opportunities, including subsidized language courses.
• Subsidized sports membership with access to extensive club networks.
