Research Engineer Beamline Office

Your team
The Beamline Office at MAX IV operates within the Science Division and comprises four specialized teams, each dedicated to delivering advanced support across various stages of beamline development—from initial project proposals to full user operations. The project engineer role is positioned within the beamline support team, which is responsible for managing small to medium-sized projects (BPAG), addressing urgent needs across all beamlines, representing beamlines in interdisciplinary projects, and potentially managing large-scale projects within the Central Project Office's (CPO) portfolio which involve multiple beamline stakeholders. Additionally, the team coordinates the conceptual and technical design reports for prospective beamline initiatives.

MAX IV is looking for a project engineer who will work with the current beamline support team, ensuring timely and effective delivery of BPAG projects in close partnership with beamlines. The engineer will also work with resource groups to refine and enhance processes for planning and prioritizing project tasks. This role may involve leading or coordinating resource-focused projects or those with significant stakeholder engagement across the Science Division.

Your main work tasks will be

• Oversee and coordinate a portfolio of small to medium-sized projects and tasks.
• Strategically plan and prioritize beamline activities in collaboration with the CPO and relevant resource groups.
• Contribute actively to BPAG project execution where your expertise is applicable.
• Serve as project manager for CPO projects, ensuring alignment with multiple beamline stakeholders.
• Represent the beamline and science division in cross-functional, facility-wide initiatives.
• Facilitate the delivery of conceptual and technical design documentation for new beamlines.

 
To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications

• Ph.D. or engineering background in a STEM field.
• Proven experience in coordinating complex projects or tasks.
• Strong ability to work independently.
• Proficient in English with excellent communication and teamwork skills.
