Your team
The Electronics team works with the electronics interfacing the control system and the facility is dependent on them to be able to run. The electronics ranges 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

  • Increase the capability of the diagnostic tool that we have for our stepper motion system by extend current CI (continuous integration) plotting scripts for motion test reports.
  • Produce multiple and different plots automatically from generated csv data.
  • Allow configuration of which plots to generate, and how to plot them.
  • Test with e.g. slit pseudo motors or gantry systems to validate performance.

With this capability, longer stability measurements are possible to be automated. 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.
  • You must be minimum 18 years and fluent in English to apply to this position.

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.
