Job Description
Your responsibilities
The ABT group is in charge of the design, development, construction, installation, exploitation and maintenance of injection and extraction related equipment and associated equipment-level control systems and software. In the beam transfer controls section, you will continue to deploy and maintain the fast pulsed magnets timing system, and with this experience, design an upgraded system which is best adapted to the present CERN controls architecture. You will also push the beam transfer controls system from partly manual checks to as much automation via clever SW as possible, which includes capturing the requirements and boundaries of the HW systems from equipment responsibles and developing algorithms which allow to distinguish alarms which can be auto-reset from the ones needing expert intervention. Where applicable, machine learning shall be applied, and the system be designed envisaging its use for general HW systems used in accelerators beyond the ABT group.

About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
