We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset. Are you interested to work in an exciting scientific environment? Perhaps summer work at MAX IV would be something for you? Your team The Electronics team works with the electronics interfacing the control system and the facility is dependent on them to be able to run. The electronics ranges from motors and motion systems, timing and triggering, current and voltage readout as well as synchronization between them all. The team both develops and buys commercial systems and when they are in operation, we make sure that they are able to acquire the signals needed for the experiments to be successful. Your main work tasks will be Increase the capability of the diagnostic tool that we have for our stepper motion system by extend current CI (continuous integration) plotting scripts for motion test reports. - Produce multiple and different plots automatically from generated csv data. - Allow configuration of which plots to generate, and how to plot them. - Test with e.g. slit pseudo motors or gantry systems to validate performance. With this capability, longer stability measurements are possible to be automated. The diagnose tool is used to tune and characterize motors in the facility. We are running about 1700 motors continuously and are dependent on this tool for everyday work. To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications An interest for electronics and programming of electronics. At least one year of studies at a university level, preferably on an electronics or software program, or similar. You must be minimum 18 years and fluent in English to apply to this position. Dependent on your background, more focus could be put on one task than the other. As a person you are curious and not afraid of asking a question if something is unclear. You will be facing a complex environment and new friends and hence hopefully loves a challenge. What we offer When you join our MAX IV team, you step into a world of front edge science. We make the invisible visible by supporting scientist from all over the world, generating scientific results for the benefit of society. We offer you a multicultural work environment with great opportunities for personal development with respect for a healthy work-life balance.

MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. It will receive up to 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light. The ICT teams at MAX IV are placed under the Technical Division and deliver solutions to the whole MAX IV organisation in the areas of electronics, software, infrastructure and scientific data. This is a dynamic and highly challenging environment and requires close collaboration with the beamline staff in order to understand the needs and be effective in forming solutions. We are around 50 people in total who work in 4 domains in a well-organised and agile way. We hold values of lean management, knowledge spread, user autonomy, continuous improvement and flexibility as guiding principles for our work. We kindly decline all sales and marketing contacts.
