Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP), a new Center for Scientific Research for a broad range of science domains: fundamental physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, applications in material science, life sciences and nuclear materials management.
Objectives:
•Building the facility (2013-2014)
•Purchasing the two major pieces of Equipment: two high power lasers and the gamma beam system (2013- 2017)
•Preparing the TDRs for the experiments and auxiliary laboratories
•Promoting the future multidisciplinary research opportunities of ELI-NP to users
•Defining and implementing the conditions necessary for the future operation
Implementation phase of the Project: to ensure the timely delivery and the commissioning of the two systems, their integration with the construction. The design and development of the ELI-NP experimental areas will be performed.
Operational phase: pursuing the scientific program of ELI-NP and maintaining the best performance of the systems.
Description
Position Description
In the implementation phase, ELI-NP engineers will provide technical support for ELI-NP in correlation with the technological strategy, focusing mainly on ensuring the commissioning of the infrastructure and its further operation.
In the operational phase, Laser engineers will ensure the operation of the lasers within the two major ELI-NP pieces of Equipment: the High Power Laser System or the Gamma Beam System.
Main responsibilities:
In the implementation phase:
• The engineers will gather the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure the operation of the infrastructure and of the related equipment. In this context, they will benefit from training provided by the suppliers of the equipment regarding the assembling, testing and commissioning of the equipment. Therefore, the candidates will have to be available to travel and work abroad for a determined period of time;
• Ensuring the best and efficient collaboration and dialogue between the research staff and the suppliers of the respective equipment and various services;
• Ensuring the conformity of the activities with the standards in the field.
In the operational phase:
• Maintaining the performances of the ELI-NP equipment and systems to the desired level;
• Actively participating in the technological development activities performed at ELI-NP;
• Providing the technical support for the experiments.
Main tasks:
• Participating in the preparation of Technical Design Reports (TDRs);
• Evaluating the technical offers for various Laser components;
• Monitoring the fulfilment of related contracts;
• Providing technical assistance upon delivery-taking of various deliverables;
• Participating in the installation and commissioning of the various Laser equipment;
• Supervising the operation of the equipment and of the buildings after commissioning;
• Ensuring the operation of the High Power Laser Beam Transport System;
• Actively and efficiently involving in dialogue and communication within the ELI-NP team and promoting a harmonious collaboration framework.
