Job Summary
In this role, you will develop device-level software in C++ for controlling and integrating components of GSI/FAIR accelerator facilities on Linux-based systems, collaborating closely with operations.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You work in a team of software developers responsible for the software that controls individual components or systems of the GSI/FAIR accelerator facilities.
- The control system of the GSI/FAIR accelerator facilities is based on a device-level architecture as a distributed system of real-time device control computers.
- A central timing system handles the highly precise synchronization of the control, while a central middleware manages communication between the objects.
- Your task is to develop and maintain device-related software for controlling components of the GSI/FAIR accelerator facilities.
- In close coordination with the device managers and the plant operation, you determine the requirements, develop the control software using the FESA framework developed by CERN and GSI in C++, and integrate the software into the accelerator facility.
- The development platform is Linux, and the target platforms are RT-Linux and LM32 Soft Core.
- Design, development, testing, integration, commissioning, and maintenance of control software for GSI/FAIR accelerator components.
- Development and expansion of libraries and tools, including for testing, deployment/rollout, and monitoring of more than 1500 device controllers in operation.
- Support of development projects for our English-speaking cooperation partners.
- Documentation and quality assurance of in-house developments.
- Support in commissioning and operation of the accelerator facilities; this also includes taking on on-call duties.
