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 collaborate in this international environment with a team of employees working daily to conduct science at world level. We are looking for the “Accelerator Control Systems” (ACO) department, which is currently responsible for the control system of existing and future accelerator systems with around 65 hardware and software developers and national and international partners, at the next possible time , M.Sc. or Diploma in Automation Technology, Electrical Engineering or Similar Reference number: 26.67-6210 The bodies are concerned with the development, commissioning, optimization and support of control systems for LHe cryogenic, vacuum and passenger protection systems in the environment of GSI and FAIR accelerator systems.

Planning, coordination and implementation of projects in the field of industrial control systems Development, implementation and optimization of control and SCADA systems Creation and implementation of control concepts and selection of suitable hardware components Test, integration and documentation of the developed software Analysis and troubleshooting and support of plant operation Cooperation with internal specialist departments and international partners (e.g. CERN) Support for the start-up and operation of the accelerator systems, including participation in call readiness Participation in multidisciplinary conceptual work.

Complete university studies (M.Sc. or Diploma) of automation technology, electrical engineering Very good knowledge of SPS systems (Siemens S7-1500, TIA Portal) Experience with IEC 61131-3 programming languages Knowledge of visualization systems (e.g. WinCC OA) Experience in the implementation of automation projects Good knowledge of German and English in word and writing Ability and willingness to work quickly into new topics Advantageous knowledge: Knowledge in higher programming languages (e.g. C# and Python) Experience with the CERN framework UNICOS (required) Understanding complex technical systems (e.g. cryogenic, vacuum or accelerator technology) For a successful application, you have the qualifications mentioned and are interested in working in a highly complex technical and scientific environment. In addition, your task places requirements on independent, structured work as well as team and communication skills. Close cooperation with various specialist groups requires a high level of responsibility and cooperation. Within the framework of the FAIR project, essential parts of the control systems will be further developed and restarted in the coming years. You have the opportunity to introduce your own ideas and actively contribute to the design of modern automation solutions.
