Motivation
Are you the new system developer that will boost research for scientists? Apply your hardware and software skills to help exploit the full capabilities of Sweden's new flagship laboratory. You will have the chance to face new challenges of the synchrotron domain in a very distributed environment, i.e  beam positioning, timing distribution, high throughput data logging etc.

By having close contact to the machine operators you will have the opportunity to solve the problem with a new approach, to become involved in writing interesting papers and to present the work at international conferences.

As a professional you will bridge science and state of the art hardware and software development. You will help to maintain a community and support the researcher to be autonomous in synchrotron development. Being part of the KITS group means to participate to different international collaborations about control and acquisition, Scandinavian and European, Scientific and Industrial.

As a team mate you will join a trusted and open team where continuous improvement and mentorship is part of our DNA. In addition you will improve your technique and spread the knowledge within the organisation.

Finally this is the opportunity to learn and to increase your skills, competence and experience. In an international facility such as MAX IV you will meet open minded people from different perspectives. Inside the KITS group, composed of network, system, hardware engineers and scientific software experts, we promote a devops style cross functional team.
