EBG MedAustron is building and will later on operate a state-of-the art ion-beam centre for tumour therapy and medical/physics research in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. The technical design and construction of the particle accelerator is made in collaboration with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN http://cern.ch) in Geneva.

In our dynamic team for the implementation of the MedAustron accelerator we are searching for an
 

As an embedded system engineer, you will define and develop functionality required to control the instruments measuring the beam parameters.

You will define the hardware needs, develop the software, follow and check the monitors data flow and data processing, write the machine operation procedures and monitor calibration codes and prepare all project relevant documentation. You will apply the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the system development life cycle to support the generation of the beam instrumentation and diagnostics system. You will work in close contact with the beam instrumentation experts in physics and electronics. You will interface with customers, suppliers, application users, and other technical and support personnel. You should be able to work according to a defined development process.

Bachelor’s degrees from an accredited college/university in a related discipline, or equivalent experience/combined education, with minimum of 3 years of professional experience; or 1 year experience required with a related Masters.

Experience and knowledge:

• NI PXI and FlexRIO
• LabView RT and FPGA programming
• In depth knowledge of data acquisition electronics and best practices
• Self motivated
• Team-working capabilities
• Configuration management tools (e.g. ClearCase, Perforce, SVN, CVS)
• Ability and experience with working in a lifecycle process (e.g. RUP, IEC 61508 or ISO 13485)

Design and implementation will be carried out at CERN. During an initial period (up to three years) the candidate is expected to relocate to CERN (Geneva, Switzerland). The long-term perspective is to return to Wiener Neustadt for the installation, commissioning and operation of the MedAustron facility.
