Applied Physicist/Engineer - ATLAS ITk

The CERN ATLAS Team is responsible for the construction and integration of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) silicon pixel detector system. The role involves testing, integration, and validation of the ITk Pixel Detector and its services, working closely with multidisciplinary teams in a high-energy physics experimental environment.

Responsibilities

• Reception testing of ITk Silicon Pixel Detector elements and testing of multi-module Pixel structures to be integrated into the ITk Pixel Outer Barrel.
• Testing and verification of integrated ITk Pixel Detector structures and services as well as combined testing with the ITk Strip Detector in the surface integration facility (SR1) at CERN.
• Deploy and improve software and hardware elements for integration testing and service validation (online, detector control, detector safety) for the Pixel Detector and the combined ITk.
• Document procedures and results for ITk integration testing and service validation and develop testing procedures for the ITk Detector after installation.
• Participate hands-on in the ITk Detector integration work in the surface cleanroom as well as the preparation of equipment for the different testing stages.

Requirements

• Proven experience in the construction and integration of silicon pixel detectors for high energy physics experiments.
• Proven experience in the testing and data analysis of silicon detector systems.
• Proven experience in silicon detector operation and quality control including the development, installation and commissioning of laboratory infrastructure.
• Experience in the development of DAQ/online software or detector control systems for silicon detector testing and operation.
• Demonstrated experience in working in a multi-disciplinary team and international collaboration, including physicists, engineers and technicians involved in work on detector construction.
• Experience on interpreting CAD designs of mechanics components or cooling plant operation is advantageous.
• Experience with the assembly of sensitive equipment in a clean room environment is advantageous.
• Master's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Applied Physicist or Engineering or a related field.
• A valid driving licence.
• Willingness to work in Radiation Areas.
• Ability to perform interventions in underground installations.
• Availability to work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
