Mer information

The operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on thousands of superconducting magnets, which are powered in more than 1500 circuits. Ensuring the safe functionality of the magnet circuit protection and interlock systems is a critical aspect of the LHC hardware commissioning.

As part of the Signal Monitoring (SigMon) project, you will design and develop Python-based software tools to automate large-scale data analysis. A strong focus is placed on modern software engineering practices, including continuous integration and testing within GitLab to ensure robust, maintainable and high-quality code. The role involves processing, analysing and visualising large datasets generated during hardware commissioning campaigns.
