Scientific-Technical Employee Electrical Engineering / Accelerator Technology Reference Number: 26.153-6351

The GSI Helmholtz Centre for Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerator systems for science. The new FAIR plant (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is currently being built in international cooperation, one of the largest research projects worldwide. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work in this international environment in a team that is working daily to conduct science at world level. The “Superconducting Magnets & Testing” (SCM) department is looking to strengthen its “Magnet Electrical Systems” group (SCM-MES) Scientific and technical staff Electrical engineering / accelerator technology Reference number: 26.153-6351 as a specialist for our superconducting FAIR magnetic and power rail systems as well as the associated electronic protection devices. Within the scope of the project, appropriate components are to be verified, validated and into the FAIR main machines SIS100 or Super-FRS as well as our magnetic test stands. Their ability to control complex technical processes and their routined approach to testing, installation and commissioning will significantly contribute to the successful implementation of our demanding accelerator infrastructure.

Electrical quality assurance and maintenance of the test operation for superconducting FAIR modules. Scientific analyses of superconducting FAIR components as well as power supplies with component characterization, fault diagnosis and optimization. Technical coordination of the implementation and commissioning of the “FAIR Quench Detection System” and application advice of the FAIR accelerator control centre during operation. Development of innovative measuring methods for electrical integrity in superconducting magnetic circuits and the design of new magnetic protection systems.

Academic degree with a doctorate, ideally in electrical engineering, accelerator technology or a comparable qualification. Knowledge in the field of superconducting magnetic technology and protection systems for superconducting components. Competence in simulation and calculation of characteristic magnetic protection parameters and quench data analysis. Experience in electrical measurement technology, sensor technology, analog/digital signal processing, measurement data acquisition via Ethernet and data synchronization in distributed systems. Ideally know-how in the EMC-oriented system construction of electrical systems. Programming skills in Python and C/C++. Routinized handling of MS Windows and Linux operating systems as well as MS Office applications. Very good knowledge of English and German in word and writing. Self-employed, cooperative working style, social skills, sense of responsibility and team spirit.

A versatile, varied and demanding activity at an above-average well-equipped workplace with interesting and diverse tasks. Teamwork and the will for training are essential for us. GSI continues to offer various offers for the reconciliation of family and profession, mobile work, offers in the field of occupational health management, occupational social consultation offers, personal training and qualification offers, job-ticket, benefits for supplementary pensions, additional business leisure, as well as an “Schnelle ion” business sports association. The place is indefinite. The salary is based on the TVöD (Bund) collective agreement applicable to GSI. GSI promotes women's professional development and welcomes women to feel particularly addressed through this call. In the case of the same qualification and suitability for working at test stands as well as the FAIR construction site, severely disabled persons receive the advantage. .
