Software Developer for Track Reconstruction
CERN's ATLAS experiment is seeking a talented Software Developer to contribute to the development and optimization of the ACTS (A Common Tracking Software) toolkit, an experiment-agnostic track reconstruction software designed for high performance in the HL-LHC era and beyond.
Your Responsibilities:
* Develop, optimize, and maintain ACTS-based track finding, fitting, and vertex reconstruction software.
* Focusing on adapting and fine-tuning the software for the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) to ensure optimal performance.
* Lead and coordinate efforts to enhance the computational and physics performance of ACTS, supporting the ATLAS HL-LHC physics program.
* Serve as a core member of the ACTS development team, managing parts of the development and deployment processes.
* Provide advisory and supervision support to junior colleagues within ATLAS and collaborating institutions.
Your Profile:
* Proven experience with modern C++ programming techniques.
* Understanding of track reconstruction concepts, algorithms, and their efficient implementation in High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments.
* Proficiency in software development tools and practices within a Linux environment.
* Ability to communicate opinions, ideas, and suggestions convincingly, clearly, and in a logical and structured manner, staying on topic.
Eligibility Criteria:
* You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
* You have a professional background in Experimental Physics (or a related field) and have either:
o a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
