The successful candidate will be an experienced Technician participating in the outsourcing, building and integration of detector prototypes and final detectors for instruments to be deployed at the ESS. The candidate will offer technical support to teams of Neutron Scientists and of Mechanical Engineers, and will work closely with other Technicians. The main working space is the detector facility (Utgård), and there will be specific jobs which will need to be done at the mechanical workshop (EMBLA) or at our Source Facility (SF, at Lund University). Utgård is a workshop space equipped to the highest standards to be utilized for building the ultimate neutron detector technologies. You might also be required to visit other collaborating partners and neutron centres, as necessary.
You will have varied, wide ranging responsibilities and duties that will include:
