Job Description: Introduction
Are you an enthusiastic magnet engineer interested in testing superconducting accelerator magnets? Do you enjoy developing analysis tools, contributing to test station upgrades, improving measurements using sophisticated instrumentation, and giving feedback to the magnet development teams? Come and join a great team pushing the limits of superconducting accelerator magnets, shaping the future of this technology!
The Magnet Qualification and Analysis section (MQA) is responsible for the test, qualification and performance analysis of the superconducting accelerator magnets, either before installation in the machine, or as part of a research and development plan. In the coming years, the main focus will gradually shift from the qualification of cryo-magnets to R&D magnets for future studies, particularly in the context of medical applications. The section is also responsible for maintaining and upgrading the cryogenic test station to cope with evolving needs, such as testing high temperature superconductor magnets.
Functions
Plan and follow-up superconducting magnet tests, by defining project requirements, developing formal test programs, overseeing data collection and analysis during tests, and delivering comprehensive reports on performance outcomes;
Design and develop instrumentation and diagnostics systems to enhance the measurement and characterization of superconducting magnet performance, particularly focusing on quench behaviour in niobium-tin and high-temperature superconductor magnets;
Perform in-depth analysis of extensive datasets across diverse superconducting magnets and related superconducting systems, ensuring precision and actionable conclusions;
Lead upgrades to test bench infrastructure to meet evolving project demands, supporting advanced superconducting materials and magnet technologies;
Contribute to magnet development projects by providing technical feedback and optimizing test setups.
Qualifications
Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Experience:
Proven experience in testing and analysing the behaviour of accelerator superconducting magnets, or other superconducting devices;
Demonstrated experience in data analysis and reduction in the domain of combined physical phenomena (e.g. electromagnetism, thermodynamics, cryogenics, mechanics, etc); publication of scientific notes or papers as main author would be a plus;
Experience in working in a test environment, involving multi-disciplinary and multi-level teams;
Experience with instrumentation and diagnostics systems, ideally in the field of superconducting magnet technology, would be an asset.
Skills:
Measurement and analysis of magnets;
Operation and maintenance of superconducting magnet systems;
Construction, test and installation of superconducting magnets and systems;
Design and modelling of protection systems for superconducting magnets;
Achieving Results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind;
Demonstrating Accountability: taking responsibility for own actions and decisions; delivering on promises;
Communicating Effectively: delivering presentations in a structured and clear way; responding calmly and confidently to questions;
Working in Teams: seeking to help other team members; contributing to promoting a positive atmosphere in the team;
Demonstrating Flexibility: showing willingness to accept changing circumstances and adapting quickly to shifting priorities.
Spoken and written English in professional contexts and the willingness to learn French.
