Description

Job description
What you'll do:
The CERN ATLAS Team plays a major role in the construction of the future silicon ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk). In particular, the final integration of the ITk detector prior to installation in the experiment is a crucial step to validate the full functionality.

As an applied physicist or engineer in the CERN-ATL Team, you will join the Tracker section (EP-ATL-TRK) and work closely with personnel from the Detector Technologies Group (EP-DT) on the construction and integration of the ATLAS ITk Pixel System and its integration into the ATLAS ITk.

Your responsibilities:
- Reception testing of ITk Silicon Pixel Detector elements and testing of multi-module Pixel structures to be integrated into the ITk Pixel Outer Barrel.

- Testing and verification of integrated ITk Pixel Detector structures and services as well as combined testing with the ITk Strip Detector in the surface integration facility (SR1) at CERN.

- Deploy and improve software and hardware elements for integration testing and service validation (online, detector control, detector safety) for the Pixel Detector and the combined ITk.

- Document procedures and results for ITk integration testing and service validation and develop testing procedures for the ITk Detector after installation.

- Participate hands-on in the ITk Detector integration work in the surface cleanroom as well as the preparation of equipment for the different testing stages.

Your profile:
- Proven experience in the construction and integration of silicon pixel detectors for high energy physics experiments.

- Proven experience in the testing and data analysis of silicon detector systems.

- Proven experience in silicon detector operation and quality control including the development, installation and commissioning of laboratory infrastructure.

- Experience in the development of DAQ/online software or detector control systems for silicon detector testing and operation.

- Demonstrated experience in working in a multi-disciplinary team and international collaboration, including physicists, engineers and technicians involved in work on detector construction.

- Experience on interpreting CAD designs of mechanics components or cooling plant operation is advantageous.

- Experience with the assembly of sensitive equipment in a clean room environment is advantageous.

- Master's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Applied Physicist or Engineering or a related field.

Your skills:
- Testing and validation of detector, accelerator and beam line components.

- Assembly and integration of detectors.

- Construction, test and installation of electromechanical equipment and systems.

- Development of application software.

- Assembly and integration of infrastructure for detectors or experimental facilities.

- Delivers high quality work on time and fulfils expectations.

- Adapts quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements.

- Builds and maintains constructive and effective work relationships.

- Works well autonomously; takes on activities and tasks without prompting.

- Expresses opinions, ideas and suggestions with conviction and in a logical/structured manner; keeps to the point.

- Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.

Employment conditions:
A valid driving licence.
Work in Radiation Areas.
Interventions in underground installations.
Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
Contract duration (in months): 48
