Control Software Engineer - Particle Accelerators (TE-MPE-CB-2026-213-LD)

Introduction: You will join the Technology Department's Machine Protection and Electrical Integrity (MPE) Group , which develops and maintains systems that protect accelerator equipment, including magnets and particle-beam-related installations. Working in a collaborative team of software engineers, you will design, develop and maintain reliable software that supports the safe and efficient operation of the Large Hadron Collider and its injector complex. You will have the opportunity to solve challenging engineering problems, collaborate with experts across different disciplines and contribute to systems that are essential to CERN's scientific mission.  Functions: - Design, implement, test and maintain software components that interface with equipment protection and interlock systems . - Monitor deployed applications, investigate technical issues and improve reliability, availability and maintainability. - Work with engineers, technical specialists and accelerator operations teams during commissioning, testing and operation. - Understand user requirements, contribute to technical decisions and help deliver sustainable software solutions. - Collaborate with colleagues to strengthen development workflows, automated testing, continuous integration and software quality, including exploring AI-assisted development tools where appropriate. - Provide technical guidance and mentoring to colleagues and students. At CERN , the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
