hela Sverige The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand-new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up.
Come and build the future of Science with us!
About the role:
The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are now looking for four Automation Engineers to join the Automation Section, located within our Integrated Control Systems (ICS) Division.
The scope of the Automation Section is to design, develop, deliver and maintain control systems based on industrial automation technology such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and to integrate them with the EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) software infrastructure. The Automation Section develops and maintains also the control system operator interfaces (OPIs), as well as the archive and alarm configurations of the PLC-based control systems.
As an Automation Engineer at ESS your responsibilities will be the following:
• Responsible for development and integration of control systems, including
• Define cost and schedule.
• Investigate innovative approaches and techniques.
• Conceptualize solutions/plans.

• Ensure solution is in compliance with procedures, programs and policies.
• Document design/development.
• Review other engineering designs.
• Responsible for verification and validation of integrated control systems
• Responsible for interacting with system owners to ensure successful deployment of integrated control systems
These are full-time, permanent positions with a six-month probationary period based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden.
About you:
As a person, you are proactive, self-motivated, responsible, structured and eager to grow in a fast-paced, impact-driven environment. You enjoy working both independently and together with others within a team. You are comfortable communicating with both technical teams and external stakeholders.

• Strong skills in technical writing, reporting, and documentation.
• Strong ability in independent problem-solving and solution development.
• Proficient in communication across diverse teams to support effective collaboration.
The working language of ESS is English but it would be great if you could also work in Swedish as well. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible!
What can we offer?
Aside from the chance to work at truly unique big science project, you can also expect:
• An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.
• A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
• A challenging, innovative and stimulating work environment.
