EngineerinChargeoftheProtonSynchrotron

At [CERN](http://home.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. Introduction: As Engineer in Charge of the CERN Proton Synchrotron ([PS](https://home.cern/science/accelerators/proton-synchrotron/)), you will contribute to the safe, efficient and performance-driven operation of the accelerator, combining operational follow up, technical problem solving, performance analysis and software development. You will play an active role in improving PS operation through data driven analysis, high level control applications and automation-oriented developments, with the aim of making operation more robust, reproducible and efficient. Functions: * Take an active role in the safe, efficient and performance-driven operation of the PS and its associated beam lines during commissioning, regular operation, and machine development studies. * Analyse PS operational issues, assess their impact on beam performance and availability, and collaborate with equipment experts, controls specialists and operations teams to define and implement effective solutions. * Drive automation-oriented developments for PS operation by identifying operational processes that can be made more robust, reproducible and efficient, and translating them into tools, procedures and applications that increase the autonomy of the accelerator. * Drive the performance optimisation of the PS beams for the LHC and the fixed target facilities, combining accelerator studies, operational data analysis and close collaboration with operations crews, machine experts and physics users. * Prepare, validate and improve
