Hamburg Scientist Superconducting Undulator Magnets (f/m/d)

European XFEL is an international non-profit company located in the Hamburg area in Germany. It operates a 3.4 km-long X-ray laser, which produces X-rays of unique quality for studies in physics, chemistry, the life sciences, materials research and other disciplines. The diverse scientific facilities at European XFEL enable scientists from across the globe to carry out a wide range of experimental techniques. The development and integration of superconducting undulators (SCUs) in European XFEL is part of the facility development program.
Of fundamental importance for the program is the operation of the SUNDAE1 measurement system. SUNDAE1 is a vertical liquid helium bath used to train SCU coils and to measure their magnetic field.
The main task for this position is to coordinate the operation SUNDAE1 in collaboration with other colleagues from the UNSYS group and DESY technical groups. For our Undulator Systems group we are looking for a The Position

• Coordinate and perform measurements of superconducting coils at the SUNDAE1 facility in collaboration with colleagues from the UNSYS group and other DESY technical groups
• Maintain and upgrade the SUNDAE1 facility, including defining technical specifications for new components and coordinating technical discussions with vendors
