- Software Engineer
The ESRF’s ambitious upgrade programme ESRF–EBS has replaced the old X-ray source with a new, first-of-its-kind storage ring, which is enabling ground-breaking science. As part of the programme, a new experiment control system was developed with an object-oriented and plug-in based scanning and sequencing engine written in Python and using Tango as the high-level distributed system.
The new experiment control system is today in operation on more than 35 beamlines with an increasing number of high-speed data acquisition systems which require online data reduction or online data analysis.
As part of a team of 18 software engineers who constitute the Beamline Control Unit (BCU), you will contribute to these developments. You will be responsible for the planning, implementation and commissioning of the core beamline control system. The development of new control system features required and the development and installation of challenging data acquisition systems will also be part of the work.
The BCU is responsible for the control system of all beamlines at the ESRF. As a member, you will also participate in the help-desk and standby service for scientific experiments.
Your missions will be the following:
Permanent contract.
The salary will be calculated on the basis of relevant qualifications and professional experience.
