Introduction
Would you like to design and develop industrial control systems for one of the world’s most complex technical instruments? We use an original approach based on industrial standards and the latest technologies. Be a part of something bigger; CERN, take part.
We are looking for an engineer with a versatile set of technical IT skills applied to industrial control systems. You should feel comfortable in many domains, working from the command line, ad-hoc scripting, debugging the origins of a program crash as well as C/C++ and Java programming and databases. The ability to understand the behaviour of complex systems as a whole, being able to drill down to details, and quickly acquire and apply necessary knowledge to intervene on operational systems are key skills for this job.
You will join:
- The Beams Department (BE) in charge of the exploitation of the largest accelerator complex and its technical infrastructure.
- The Control Engineering Section within The Industrial Control Systems Group (ICS), whose activities include the engineering and support of control systems and automation technologies for the LHC and the high-energy physics experiments.
You will benefit from:
- The opportunity to broaden your knowledge and experience into new areas and discover a domain where excellence is the key driving factor.
- Specific training and support for professional development to foster your skills and develop your talents.
Functions
As a Computing Engineer in the Beams Department, Industrial Control Systems Group and the Control Engineering Section, you will be in charge, on one hand, of the design, development, commissioning and support of industrial control systems and, on the other, of the active technical support of SCADA applications for a diversity of industrial installations (e.g. HVAC, electrical distribution, gas, industrial machinery, etc.). You will also participate in the design and development of software tools required to accomplish the tasks needed for the mentioned control systems.
Your main tasks will include:
- Integrate a team of engineers in charge of the operational support service of a large number of SCADA applications and control technologies underneath.
- Design of control systems and development of the SCADA layer.
- Design, develop, and test software tools devoted to CI/CD processes, maintenance automation as well as aiming to facilitate the verification and testing phases of control systems.
- Perform the maintenance of control systems and specific software tools as well as provide support to external users.
- Maintain and improve the documentation of systems developed by the group (including deployment guides and end user documentation) together with other members of the section.
- Participate in the support effort provided by the group (user support and incident response) for the SCADA application services, including the participation to on-call duties.
- Supervision of personnel developing and commissioning the control systems.
