Verksamhetsbeskrivning

Do you want to join a new challenging project using cutting edge technologies? The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC, having already collected tens of PB of physics data, is now preparing a major upgrade in order to increase by a factor 100 the statistics collected from 2021.

A completely new computing system will have to handle a sustained input data throughput of up to 3 TB/s. Join the unique challenge of managing, evolving and upgrading all aspects of a distributed computing system. Make use of your skills to meet the unprecedented performance and efficiency requirements of one of the largest particle-physics experiments in the world. Take Part!

Introduction

A staff position of Software Developer is open in the Experimental Physics Department (EP), ALICE Detectors and Systems group (AID), Data Acquisition section (DA).

You will join the:

.Experimental Physics Department (EP) which carries out basic research in the field of experimental physics. It aims at providing a stimulating scientific atmosphere and remains an important reference centre for the European physics community. It contributes to the education and training of young scientists;

.EP-AID group which is has major responsibilities in the ALICE experiment in the areas of detectors and online systems; its activities span every aspect, from research, development, construction and operation of silicon detectors, data acquisition and control systems.

.DA section which is in charge of developing, installing, maintaining, operating and upgrading the DAQ system for the overall ALICE experiment; this position is specifically in the control and operation software area of the Data Acquisition (DAQ) system.

Functions

As a DAQ Specialist/Engineer for the Data Acquisition system of the ALICE experiment, you will work on the development and the support of software applications, on all stages of the future upgrade, from R&D through to implementation and commissioning as well as the operation of the experiment. You will more specifically:

.Be in charge of the development and support of web-based applications for the control, the configuration and the monitoring software;

.Take part in the research, the design, the development, and the support of software packages for the future ALICE O2 computing system in view of the ALICE upgrade scheduled in 2019-20;

.Participate in a team to the smooth functioning of the DAQ system 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and supports its integration with other ALICE sub-systems.

Qualification required

Master's degree in the fields of Physics, Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent.
