Applied Physicist (EP-ATL-TRK-2026-192-LD)

Introduction:

 As an Applied Physicist, you will join the ATLAS Group at CERN and be part of the team which is working on the upgrade of the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector. In this upgrade you will play a crucial role, leading the electronics integration in the new RPC detectors to be used in the Inner layer of the Barrel Muon Spectrometer.

An important part of the job will be the installation and commissioning of the new detectors in the ATLAS cavern. Your experience in commissioning and operations of gaseous detectors will be a strong asset which coupled with your versatility, and strong team spirit will be essential to the success of the ATLAS muon upgrade program.

Functions:

Lead the production and testing of electronics boards, including:

• Testing and validating pre-production Front-End, Low Voltage, and connection boards.
• Coordinating quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) activities.
• Supporting the integration of electronics boards into RPC detectors.
• Participating in QA/QC testing of fully equipped chambers.
• Debugging of problematic chambers.

Support the installation of new chambers in the ATLAS experiment, including:

• Coordinating testing before and after installation.
• Acting as the main contact between the RPC project and Technical Coordination during installation.
• Coordinating detector commissioning after installation.
