Applied Physicist/Engineer - ATLAS ITk Integration

The CERN ATLAS Team is responsible for the construction and integration of the silicon ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk). The role involves synchronising integration testing of ITk parts, supporting integration and commissioning, and preparing for cavern commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Testing and verification of integrated ITk Strip Barrel and Endcap structures and services in the surface integration facility (SR1) at CERN.
• Work closely with integration sites off CERN, e.g. DESY or NIKHEF, synchronise the testing and provide trouble shooting support for integration teams including support at the sites.
• Develop software and hardware elements for the integration testing of ITk Barrel and Endcaps in the various integration sites and validate the procedures in SR1.
• Streamline and document procedures for ITk integration testing and service validation and extend the testing procedures for the ITk Detector after installation and during commissioning.
• Participate hands-on in the ITk Detector integration work in the ATLAS SR1 cleanroom and during ITk installation in the cavern including the preparation of equipment in the cavern.

Requirements

• Proven experience in the integration, testing and operation of silicon detectors for high energy physics experiments.
• Proven experience in integration and commissioning of silicon trackers including services validation.
• Demonstrated experience in the development of DAQ/online software or detector control systems for silicon detectors in high energy physics experiments.
• Demonstrated experience in developing and streamlining testing procedures.
• Previous work on particle detector operation in an experiment is advantageous.
• Experience with the assembly of sensitive equipment in a clean room environment is advantageous.
• Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Applied Physicist or Engineering or a related field.
