In this position, you will become a part of:

• The Beams Department (BE), responsible for beam generation, diagnostics, and optimisation for the LHC and its injector chain.
• The Industrial Control Systems Group (ICS), which provides technology frameworks for CERN-wide support of control systems across various domains

CERN's industrial control systems have unparalleled requirements in terms of size, managing up to 3 million hardware I/O points, and complexity. These systems are vital for the smooth operation of CERN's experiments, including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The CERN UNICOS Framework is a robust software platform designed for building control systems using industrial standards and commercial technologies. Specialising in PLC based control systems, the framework is employed across approximately 250 mission?critical applications at CERN. As a UNICOS Framework Developer, you will work on enhancing and maintaining this framework, ensuring its effectiveness in CERN's complex environment.

Eligibility criteria:

• You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
• By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Software Engineering and IT (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Applicants without University degree are not eligible.
• Applicants with a PhD are not eligible.
