Alignment Calculation Engineer

The ESRF is a world class research facility that produces intense X-ray beam for exploring matter at the nano-scale. The experiments conducted here require extremely high resolution, demanding precise positioning of both machine and beamline components. The Technical Infrastructure Division supports all ESRF divisions, offering essential services including survey and alignment. As part of the Survey & Alignment Group, you will join our dynamic team of technicians and engineers responsible for the precise alignment of the ESRF accelerators and beamlines as well as:

• providing expert assistance for all positioning and alignment issues related to the accelerators, beamlines; and the ESRF site;
• the development of new survey and alignment techniques and instrumentation;
• the control and periodic realignment of the accelerators and beamlines.

Your main missions will include:

• the analysis and computation of the data sets collected by the Survey & Alignment Group surveyors;
• analysing site movements, drifts and correlations;
• developing tools, methodologies and software;
• preparing analysis reports;
• developing a coordinates database;
• participating in surveying campaigns.
