Tasks

The selected candidate will carry out finite element analysis (FEA) calculations and simulations for scientific equipment and instrumentation projects—encompassing structural, structural dynamics (stability and vibrations), thermal, and thermo-mechanical domains—both for engineering groups and other divisions. More in detail Perform meshing, calculation, and post-processing of highly complex scientific equipment and instrumentation assemblies. Perform thermal and thermo-mechanical calculations , as well as power balances, for optical elements and synchrotron absorber components (e.g., X-ray synchrotron beam mirrors), accelerators, and beamlines. Perform advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations. Design or supervise mechanical systems and cooling circuits for absorber elements, creating 3D models, detailed models, and 2D production drawings using CAD tools. Design and characterize deionized water cooling subsystems for the synchrotron, accelerator, beamlines, service areas, etc., as well as autonomous cooling circuit equipment for specific applications. Negotiate, agree upon, write, and prepare technical specifications for public tenders regarding the procurement of equipment, facilities, goods, and services required to support operations and new developments carried out by the cross-functional section. Develop and monitor project plans (including Gantt charts), and prepare and manage the project budget.



Manage and track project procurement with suppliers, as well as the construction of new facilities. Maintain and update engineering drawing technical documentation. Operate and maintain cooling equipment, facilities, and subsystems. Support other groups and divisions in the operation and maintenance of cooling facilities, beamlines, and accelerators; this includes troubleshooting incidents in beamlines and accelerators, as well as defining and executing necessary preventive and corrective maintenance at an engineering level. Any other similar and reasonable duties or responsibilities assigned by Management, where applicable.
