Summer worker-Engineering-Vacuum - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Your team
The vacuum team is responsible for providing support in vacuum technology to MAX IV accelerators and beamlines. The duties of the vacuum team include design, simulations, procurement, installation, commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting and follow-up of ultra-high vacuum systems of the accelerators and beamlines. The team consists of engineers and technicians who are experienced in vacuum technology.  

Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?

MAX IV is looking for a summer worker to assist the vacuum team in the preparation and execution of installation activities planned for the 2024 summer shutdown.
Summer shutdown is a technical stop of accelerators and beamlines for maintenance and installation of new equipment.
As a summer worker, you will work together with the vacuum team and your task will be to provide hands-on (practical) support during the installation, testing, and conditioning of vacuum systems inside the accelerator tunnels and/or beamlines.
The work requires focus, patience, and attention to detail and may involve work in tight spaces.

Furthermore, you should be able to work with mechanical (tools, supports) and electronic (controllers) hardware. Together with the shutdown activities the summer worker will support the execution of a test campaign to measure the permeability of different gases through rubber materials commonly used in vacuum applications. Such tests will be carried out at one of MAX IV Vacuum test benches and it will include preparation of the samples, execution of the test, data acquisition/analysis and preparation of test reports.  
The person will gain experience in vacuum technology, for example: operation of vacuum pumping systems (for example: turbomolecular and ion pumps) vacuum measurement basics (vacuum sensors) as well as basic knowledge of MAX IV accelerator complex and beamlines.

The position is full time, 100%, starting from 10th June and ends August 4th   

Your main work tasks will be

• Hands-on support (together with vacuum team members) to install, pump down, test and condition new vacuum hardware in accelerators and beamlines.
• Execution of gas permeation through rubber materials commonly used in vacuum applications.

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

• The applicant shall have studied at least two years in one of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
• The applicant shall have hands-on experience with technical hardware (for example: work in a laboratory).
• The applicant shall have the ability to work in teams and have good communication skills.

Below are seen as merits

• Basic knowledge of particle accelerators or synchrotron light source facilities.
• Training will be provided but knowledge of vacuum science and experience in using vacuum technology is a strong plus.

As a person you are taking initiative, flexible, able to cooperate and service-minded.
You must be a minimum of 18 years old and have good command of English written and spoken
