Alignment Engineer

Your team
You will join the Survey, Alignment and Mechanical Stability team (SAM), an engineering team dedicated to supporting accelerators and beamlines in the aforementioned fields. Our team consists of research engineers with diverse engineering backgrounds, primarily focused on precision alignment of scientific instrumentation as well as maintenance and survey of the alignment network covering the entire facility. Furthermore, we assist scientists in measuring and analyzing time-dependent variations caused by mechanical vibrations, long-term drifts from temperature fluctuations and other dynamic influences.
