You will take responsibility for the maintenance and further development of several key existing beam instrumentation systems. As automation, AI and ML continue to transform scientific computing and software engineering, you will play a major role in the coordination of our group’s efforts as we embark on an ambitious programme to apply these technologies to accelerator instrumentation, data analysis, software development, and system operations.

Your responsibilities

• Collaborate with experts, operators, and multidisciplinary teams to understand needs, gather requirements, and develop effective software solutions.
• Contribute to the adoption of modern AI-assisted software development tools and practices in collaboration with colleagues across CERN.
• Maintain, support, and continuously improve existing beam instrumentation software systems.
• Design, develop, test, commission, and maintain new and upgraded real-time software systems.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing within the team and, where appropriate, supervise and mentor students or early-career talent.
• Enhancing the performance, maintainability, and reliability of beam instrumentation systems through thoughtful redesign, refactoring, comprehensive testing, and safe recommissioning.
• Designing, developing, deploying, and optimising machine learning solutions for a range of beam instrumentation applications, such as anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, signal classification, and automated diagnostics.
