Electronics Technician for our Radio Frequency (RF) Group

Description:

European Spallation Source (ESS) will soon be the world's most powerful neutron source and provide researchers with unique opportunities to investigate the structure of materials at the atomic level. Through neutron scattering, ESS contributes to research in physics, chemistry, geology, materials science and life sciences, among others. About the role: As ESS now approaches stable operation, we are seeking an electronics technician for our Radio Frequency (RF) group. The RF group is part of the Accelerator Division and is responsible for defining, designing, installing, commissioning and maintaining the complex systems and amplifiers required to operate our particle accelerator. We are looking for you to work with testing, operation and maintenance of high-performance amplifiers, power supplies and electronic systems. You will work closely with other members of the RF group and contribute both to joint projects and to your own short- and long-term tasks. The work is largely focused on electronics and RF technology, but we are primarily looking for a broadly-skilled and practically-minded technician who is curious to learn new things and enjoys varied work tasks. In your daily work you will, among other things: Participate in electrical and mechanical installation of RF systems, including rack-mounted components, cable routing and assembly. Read, maintain and update electrical schematics and mechanical drawings. Perform testing of components upon delivery, after installation and during operation. Follow established procedures and document results. Work with RF, electronics and mechanical activities within your area of expertise. Perform system testing and troubleshooting. Perform soldering, shrinking and simple mechanical machining for the manufacture and repair of electronic subsystems and circuits. Participate in component repair. The position is a permanent employment based at the ESS facility in Lund. The role is not shift work, but work at other times and on-call duty may occur if needed. About you: We are looking for a qualified, practically-minded and self-reliant person who enjoys collaborating and supporting colleagues, but who can also take responsibility for their own tasks. Experience with installation, commissioning and operation of complex systems is important, preferably in high-frequency or high-power systems. ESS has one of Europe's largest RF installations with more than 150 high-performance amplifiers, over 400 electronics racks and extensive systems for RF distribution, power supply, control and safety functions. The operation of ESS depends on RF systems with very high reliability and availability. Therefore, we are looking for you to work in a structured manner, have a high quality mindset and understand the importance of safety in your daily work. We believe you are a positive and proactive person who enjoys learning new things and engaging in the business. We are looking for you who have: Good knowledge of mechanics, electrical work, cable routing and installation. Education and experience in electrical installation and electrical safety. Ability to read, understand and produce electrical schematics in EPLAN, AutoCAD or similar tools. Experience with troubleshooting and problem solving. Practical experience working with electronics, electronics racks, cabling and cable routing. Experience with test and measurement methods, including the use of multimeters, oscilloscopes and other test equipment. Good collaboration skills and enjoy working as part of a team. The official working language at ESS is English, so you need to feel comfortable communicating in English in your daily work. How to apply: Working at ESS gives you the opportunity to contribute to future discoveries in neutron science in a modern and international working environment with innovative ideas and colleagues from all over the world. We offer competitive and individual salary setting based on role, responsibility, competence, experience and performance, as well as occupational pension contributions in addition to your base salary. If you recognize yourself in what we are looking for, you are welcome to submit your CV and cover letter in English by clicking "Apply" and following the instructions.
