Senior Control System Engineer

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. Our goal is to become the brightest source of neutrons for science and technology and be operational by the end of this decade. A state-of-the-art suite of neutron scattering instruments will be made available to address a wide range of scientific fields in fundamental and materials science. Powered by the world’s most advanced linear proton accelerator, ESS will enable cutting-edge research in materials science, energy, health, and the environment for decades to come.

Join us in shaping the future of science - from the ground up.

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Control system Engineer to join our Hardware & Integration Group. The group is responsible for the integration of all hardware in the ESS facility into the integrated control system. This includes a diverse flora of different systems ranging from PLC systems for water flow control to fast FPGA-based data acquisition systems, all integrated towards the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System software framework.

You will be a part of a large and diverse control systems team with highly qualified, experienced and supportive colleagues working together during an intensive, developing commissioning phase. The team is divided into five work packages with great focus on dynamic collaboration, technical expertise and careful quality follow-ups. Together you will work to develop local control systems and integrate them with the EPICS framework.

In this role, you will:

Lead and supervise work to develop new control system integrations.

Mentor and support engineers.

Develop strategies for control system development.

Represent ESS in the international community for controls systems for large scale research facilities.

Take active part in development for control system integrations, EPICS modules and software technology.

This is a permanent role which is based primarily “on-
