Summer worker Electronics HW - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light.

Are you interested to work in an exciting scientific environment? Perhaps a summer work at MAX IV would be something for you?

Your team
The KITS HW team works with electronics interfacing the control system and the facility is dependent on them to be able to run. The electronics rangers from motors and motion systems, timing and triggering, current and voltage readout as well as synchronization between them all. The team both develops and buys commercial systems and when they are in operation, we make sure that they are able to acquire the signals needed for the experiments to be successful. 

Your main work tasks will be

• Calibrating electrometers in the facility used for beam positioning and experimental signal readout. This involves reaching out to research groups in the facility and conduct the calibration as well as finding abnormal behavior and initiate investigation.
  
  
• Porting a diagnose tool using python and Qt. The diagnose tool is used to tune and characterize motors in the facility. We are running about 1700 motors continuously and are dependent on this tool for everyday work. 

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

• An interest for electronics and programming of electronics.
• At least one year of studies at a university level, preferably on an electronics or software program, or similar.
• Dependent on your background, more focus could be put on one task than the other. 

As a person you are curious and not afraid of asking a question if something is unclear. You will be facing a complex environment and new friends and hence hopefully loves a challenge.

You must be minimum 18 years and fluent in English to apply to this position.
