Applied Physicist

As an Applied Physicist, you will join the ATLAS Group at CERN and be part of the team working on the upgrade of the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector. You will lead the electronics integration in the new RPC detectors and be involved in installation and commissioning of the detectors in the ATLAS cavern.

Responsibilities

• Testing and validating pre-production Front-End, Low Voltage, and connection boards.
• Coordinating quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) activities.
• Supporting the integration of electronics boards into RPC detectors.
• Participating in QA/QC testing of fully equipped chambers.
• Debugging of problematic chambers.
• Coordinating testing before and after installation.
• Acting as the main contact between the RPC project and Technical Coordination during installation.
• Coordinating detector commissioning after installation.

Requirements

• PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Physics or a related field.
• Strong experience in the design, debugging and operations of fast electronics boards for gaseous detectors.
• Demonstrated experience in operating and commissioning of gaseous detectors.
• Knowledge of gas detectors physics.
• Ability to work effectively in small to medium-sized teams under a leadership role.
• Design and simulation of front-end electronics for analog sensors and transducers.
• Knowledge and application of gas based particle detection technologies.
• Testing and validation of detector, accelerator and beam line components.
• Analysis and optimisation of detector performance.
• Assembly and integration of detectors.
• Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.
• A valid driving licence.
• Willingness to work in Radiation Areas.
• Ability to perform interventions in underground installations.
• Availability to work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
