Institution ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating thirteen 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. Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats). The synchrotron light produced by 3 GeV electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production/storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage. Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium’s different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineer and technical job positions. Located close to Barcelona in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.

The S&A; Engineer Will Join The S&A; Group To Contribute To Ensuring The Precise Positioning Of The Synchrotron’s Equipment And Infrastructure Through The Development And Maintenance Of Surveying, Metrology And Alignment Systems. This Includes Reference Networks, Precision Alignment, And Stability And Vibration Studies, As Well As Providing Technical Support To The Synchrotron Divisions And Engineering Projects. To execute alignment processes for components (accelerators, beamlines, instrumentation supports) during both installation and maintenance phases, as well as for new equipment. To prepare and perform quality control for new parts and components (mechanical metrology). To participate in drafting the documentation required for the procurement of specific instrumentation for the Survey & Alignment group. To coordinate tasks and ressources with other engineering groups or divisions to ensure the integration of alignment specifications into the overall projects. 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 invoked in the CV. As a first phase, an analysis of the curriculum will be carried out (assessment of previous experience and / or scientific history, degree,



training and other professional information relevant to the position). Career breaks or variations in the chronological order of CVs will be regarded as an evolution of a career, and consequently, as a contribution to the professional development. Advanced training related to reference and alignment networks, metrology and high-precision measurement techniques. (Experience in metrology of mechanical components and assemblies. (Experience in the operation, maintenance and calibration of Survey & Alignment instrumentation and metrology equipment, especially with the Laser Tracker & 3D arm. (Experience in vibration and mechanical stability measurements, including data analysis and interpretation. (Training and/or experience in metrology, survey and alignment software, data processing and analysis tools. (English level (Max 5 points which are achieved demonstrating a B2 level) Provided they meet the minimum requirements and have ranked among the top five after the assessment of the CV phase, at least one person from the underrepresented gender in the division/office will be interviewed. On 19 October 2026, the first sentence of the tasks section was changed from: “The S&A; Engineer will join the S&A; group to contribute to the management of the reference points network by the development of the following tasks:”. To “The S&A; Engineer will join the S&A; group to contribute to ensuring the precise positioning of the synchrotron’s equipment and infrastructure through the development and maintenance of surveying, metrology and alignment systems. This includes reference networks, precision alignment, and stability and vibration studies, as well as providing technical support to the synchrotron divisions and Engineer
