Description
Do you enjoy working on complex technology where different systems have to work together perfectly?
Are you an experienced engineer with a background in electronics, systems engineering, embedded systems, RF or electrical engineering? And would you like to contribute to a unique, long-term R&D project?
For a high-tech R&D project in Mol, Belgium, we are looking for a S enior Electronics & Systems Engineer to support the development, integration and commissioning of electronics for a new superconducting linear accelerator.
You do not necessarily need previous experience with particle accelerators. We are particularly interested in engineers with a strong background in LLRF, systems engineering, embedded electronics or electrical/electronics engineering, combined with experience in complex R&D environments.
Your role
You will join a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for the electronics supporting the accelerator.
Your role will be broad: you will work on the development of electronic systems, help integrate different technical subsystems and make sure that these systems work together as one reliable and well-functioning solution.
Your responsibilities will include:
Supporting the engineering, integration and commissioning of electronic systems;
Contributing to systems related to Low-Level RF (LLRF) and beam diagnostics;
Translating technical needs into clear requirements, technical specifications and acceptance criteria;
Supporting system architecture and the definition of complex technical systems;
Supporting the integration and verification of different subsystems;
Developing and testing simulation models and prototypes to validate technical concepts;
Contributing to the development and verification of embedded electronics, FPGA and firmware;
Supporting the setup and management of dedicated test facilities where different systems are brought together;
Supporting installation, testing, commissioning and verification activities;
Maintaining technical documentation throughout the full lifecycle of the systems;
Working closely with internal teams, international partners and external suppliers;
Supporting technical procurement processes and supplier follow-up.
In short: you help develop complex electronic systems and make sure that all the different technical pieces work together as one system.
Your background
We are looking for a senior engineer with a broad technical perspective. You do not need to have every skill listed below. A strong background in one or more of these areas is particularly relevant:
LLRF / RF
Experience with Low-Level RF systems;
Experience with RF electronics or RF control systems;
Experience with accelerator technology is a strong asset.
Systems Engineering
Experience with system architecture, requirements and technical specifications;
Experience with system integration, verification and testing;
Comfortable working across different technical subsystems and disciplines.
Embedded / Electronics
Experience with embedded systems engineering;
Experience with electronics, FPGA and/or firmware;
Knowledge of programming languages such as Python, C or C++.
Electrical / Electronics Engineering
A strong background in electrical engineering, electronics or a related discipline;
Experience developing or integrating complex technical systems in an industrial or research-oriented R&D environment.
In addition, you:
hold a Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Physics or a related technical field or equivalent by experience;
are comfortable working independently and taking initiative;
can switch easily between different technical topics, priorities and requirements;
communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders;
have excellent written and spoken Englis
