The ESS is at an exciting turning point - it is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are now seeking to appoint an Automation Engineer for the Motion Control & Automation Group (MCAG). The MCAG is responsible for deploying PLC motion control systems to the Neutron Scattering Instruments, delivered by European in-kind partners to ESS. The task of the group is to develop standards for motion at ESS and work with partners to implement these across the whole facility. The focus of the group is to support the construction of neutron instruments in NSS.

The position requires an expert in Motion Control and Functional Safety of Moving Machinery especially for the evaluation and implementation of motion safety requirements into the Safety-Related Parts of the Control System (SRP/CS).

Your main area of responsibility as an Automation Engineer for Motion Safety will be to represent the efforts on Functional Safety of Moving Machinery for Neutron Instruments within the Common Motion Control & Automation (CMCA) Project.
