Offer Description
Beamline / Project / Activity description

The vacuum engineering team is mainly dedicated to the development and maintenance of the large vacuum systems necessary for the Elettra and FERMI machines to function. They also advise and support scientists and technicians in their day-to-day beamline and laboratory vacuum needs.

Job description

The successful candidate will be part of the vacuum engineering team involved in designing and testing vacuum systems and components dedicated mainly but not limited to the front-ends of the Elettra 2.0 storage ring and beamlines. The successful candidate may also be involved, with the other members of the team, in the maintenance activities of the vacuum systems and components of the current machine to allow other members of the team to increase their involvement in the development of the new machine.

The candidate will:

• contribute to the definition of all the vacuum requirements (e.g., material properties, cleaning procedures, instrumentation) for the development of the vacuum systems and special vacuum components of the machine, front-ends and beamlines;
• participate in the design of the vacuum system by evaluating its performance through simulations;
• define the vacuum interlock system rules and write the related documentation;
• discuss and propose the mechanical integration of vacuum components, vacuum instrumentation and ancillary systems in the general layout of Elettra 2.0;
• produce the technical documentation required for procurement and follow the manufacturing and construction stages of all vacuum components;

• perform vacuum test on prototypes and final components at the vacuum laboratory, analysing data and issuing test reports;

• review technical reports issued by contractors and participate in the factory acceptance tests;

• collaborate to on-site installations and commissioning of machine, front-ends and beamlines.
