The Senior Beamline Physicist/Engineer has a significant responsibility over the different sections of a superconducting accelerator, both to maintain operations and to design improvements to the various systems. Beamlines involve vacuum chambers and beamline sections, bending and focusing magnets, and electron beam diagnostics. This role also has an impact through education and training for the operations team members who run the accelerator for isotope production. - Design, build, and assess the performance of electron beam lines, including vacuum systems, beamline magnets, and both intercepting and non-intercepting electron beam diagnostics. - Interface with controls engineers to automate control of beamline elements and read back data from diagnostics into the controls system. - Interface with nuclear engineers concerning the design and operation of the x-ray conversion target. - Perform troubleshooting and maintenance activities on vacuum systems. - Be part of the team designing the concept, architecture, and components of future systems. - Train operations staff in the operation of high-power electron beamlines and diagnostics. - Conduct optimization work on existing systems, perform measurements and validation tests - Confirm system capabilities by designing testing methods What you need to succeed... - Bachelor's degree in the fields of accelerator physics, electrical or mechanical engineering, etc. (or equivalent experience) - 5+ years of experience with accelerators in a research or production environment. - Broad understanding of accelerator beamline technology. - Regularly engages in mentoring multiple team members in beamline physics and the associated systems. - Expert level analytical and problem-solving skills; Organizational and project management skills for self and teams. - Embrace and model the Niowave Values of Teamwork, Courage, Integrity, and Upright Zeal. - Understand how to integrate into a new team/organization -- appreciate the history of current state, know how and when to make suggestions, as well as using just the right pace to reach the improved future state. - Understand their own communication and learning styles, can assess others' styles, and is able to find the right path to connect the two. Great to have... - Master's or Doctorate degree in the fields of accelerator physics, electrical or mechanical engineering, etc. (or equivalent experience) - 8+ years of power electronics related experience. - 5+ or more years of experience with power electronics and accelerators in a research or production environment. - Experience leading teams to complete large projects. - 2+ years' experience of direct supervisory experience of five or more people.
