Your team
Control and IT System, Hardware is a group dedicated to the electronics part of the control system for the entire facility.

The group consists of 14 people with different background working with a broad spectrum of electronics and associated software. 

Would you like to work at the brightest lightsource in the world?

MAX IV are looking for people interested in engaging in electronics development. MAX IV now has 16 beamlines in or close to operation, meaning that more and more attention is focused on optimizing these beamlines and their end stations to meet the requirements of advanced experiments. There is a never ending need to add, rebuild and improve functionality to higher and higher level of complexity and extreme performance. This is often accomplished with in house developed or commercial electronics that needs further development.  If you have such experience or want to engage, this might be the place for you.
 
Your main work tasks will be 
to work with many tools and techniques while interacting with many groups. Even if the electronics theme is a common thread running through the web of tasks we do, knowledge in signal measurement and triggering, software, e.g. python and C variants, detector knowledge, experience from motion, e.g. stepper motors and nano positioning, building, commissioning, and supporting instruments, scientific experience of experiments are appreciated. Or, you would like to, but have not yet, worked in this type of environment.

To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications 
•    Relevant university degree
•    Experience of analog or digital electronics hardware
•    Experience of developing on FPGA platforms
•    Excellent communication skills
•    Fluent in spoken and written English

Below are seen as merits
•    Hardware and Electronics: PCB design,  layout and manufacturing, Small signal measurement, FPGA analysis and development, PID control, time sensitive measurements, RF systems  
•    Software: linux general skils, integration and deployment of electronics in control systems
•    Network and System infrastructure: TCP/IP layers, fiber, OS configuration
•    Previous experience in working at a research oriented facility

MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light.

The MAX IV Controls and IT team (KITS) deliver solutions to the whole MAX IV organisation in the areas of control system hardware, controls software applications, infrastructure and networking, information management and scientific software. This is a dynamic and highly challenging environment and requires close collaboration with the staff in order to understand the needs and be effective in forming solutions. We are around 50 people in total who work in 5 domains in a well organised and agile way. We hold values of lean management, knowledge spread, user autonomy, continuous improvement and flexibility as guiding principles for our work.

We kindly decline all sales and marketing contacts.
