Institution

ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating ten beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions. Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.

Tasks

The candidate will join the team of mechanical engineers and project engineers at the projects office in the transversal section of the engineering division, designing new mechanical and mechatronic components, devices and systems as part of the Enabling Technologies for ALBA II project. This project is aimed to carry out R&D; on new devices that go beyond the current state of the art at ALBA, seeking for solutions that should suit new needs coming from the nanofocus beamlines in which nanopositioning and nanomotion will be required. The candidate will work in close cooperation with the engineers at ALBA's nanomotion Lab.





More Specifically, Main Tasks Will Be
- Mechanical design of the ultra high vacuum compatible mechanical components for nanomotion and nanopositioning using 3D CAD modelling and thermal simulations with ANSYS.
- Supervision and approval of the manufacturing documentation (2D drawings)
- Follow up of the manufacturing process.
- Test and validation of the manufactured devices/system in the existing nanomotion Lab and in the existing vacuum lab.
- Collaboration with the control's engineers for the development of the control systems.

Requirements

The requirements for participation must be met on the date of the deadline for the submission of applications and will be accredited by means of the CV attached to it, without prejudice to the power of the selection body to require the contribution of the originals of the certifications accrediting the qualifications, training and work experience invo
