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 an for the Superconducting Magnets & Testing Division (SCM) Development engineerin or physicist*in (d/m/w) Magnetic technology for superconducting accelerator magnets Reference number: 26.150-6352 The SCM department is responsible for the construction and testing of superconducting accelerator magnets for the FAIR system, in particular the superconducting quadrupoldublett modules for the new FAIR circular accelerator SIS100. In addition to the ongoing construction and integration program, the department is specifically developing expertise in the field of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) for future accelerator magnets and is involved in several national and international projects.

The position is carried out in close coordination with the project management and other specialist departments and areas at GSI/FAIR and includes, in particular, the following tasks: Coordination of the integration of the superconducting SIS100 quadrupoldublett modules: support in planning and technical production tracking, definition of test steps and acceptance criteria and quality assurance in cooperation with manufacturers and project partners Constructive design of modules and module components in cooperation with the construction department and support of tunnel installation including assembly sequences and testing processes (electrical integrity, mechanical precision, vacuum sealing, welding processes) Participation in the definition of the test program for the quadrupole modules under operating conditions and coordination of the test execution with project partners, including evaluation of the test results Development of magnetic technology with high-temperature superconductors (HTS): Monitoring of the state of the art, cooperation on development projects (including in the context of international research projects) and support for industrial cooperation Coordination of interface topics for the cryogenic supply and technology of the magnetic modules as well as for machine installation (including module connections in compliance with the printing device directive) – as contact person* in the SCM department for adjacent specialist departments Technical coordination of development processes in international cooperation.

Complete university studies (M.Sc./M.Eng.) in physics or engineering (e.g. mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, process engineering) or a comparable qualification At least three years of relevant professional experience in the development, construction or integration of superconducting magnets, ideally related to high-temperature superconductors (HTS) and in the environment of accelerator or large-scale research facilities. Experience in managing work packages or (partial) projects as well as in coordinating internal and external project partners Structured working with a high degree of self-initiative and motivation Good team and communication skills English language skills in word and writing, German language skills (B1/B2) are desirable Knowledge or experience in the following areas is also advantageous: Advanced technical knowledge of magnetic technology: coil design, mechanical design, cooling techniques, instrumentation, quench detection and magnetic protection, electrical operation, electrical integrity (e.g. high-voltage strength). cryotechnology (thermomechanics) and low temperature physics Software CAD (e.g. CATIA) FEM (for example ANSYS for thermal and mechanical analyses)

Knowledge of the Pressure Equipment Directive and experience with joining techniques (e.g. welding connections) in plant engineering Experience in coordinating test activities.
