For our location in Zeuthen we areseeking:
Technician for DetectorDevelopment
Remuneration Group 8 | Unlimited |Starting date: earliest possible | ID: APMA013/2024 | Deadline:28.02.2025 | Full-time/Part-time
DESY, with morethan 2900 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, isone of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuseson decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallestparticles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In thisway, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgentchallenges facing science, society and industry. With itsultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary researchplatforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highlyattractive working environment in the fields of science, technologyand administration as well as for the education of highly qualifiedyoung scientists.
The Zeuthen location of DESYhas a strong focus on astroparticle and particle physics (gamma-rayand neutrino astronomy, and collider particle physics). Theexperimental groups are accompanied by a strong theory group. DESYZeuthen is responsible for developing and delivering detectors forastroparticle and particle physics experiments and is activelyengaged in R&D for future applications. Together with theCentre for Quantum Technology and Applications (CQTA), DESY Zeuthenis taking a leading role in applying quantum technology tochallenges in particle and astroparticle physics.
The post‑holder will contribute to the research byproducing high-quality detector components with integrated qualitycontrol, for example by contributing to the pipelined production ofATLAS ITk silicon modules, and by assembling, testing andcharacterizing the modules. The post holder will be required todevelop and maintain diagnostic and test equipment for detectorresearch and development (e.g. X-ray system, microscopy, climatechamber). In addition to silicon detector construction and testing,the work will emphasize electrical systems, for example in thedevelopment of electrical instruments for the control and feedbackof quantum sensor experiments (e.g. monitoring of beamlines andvacuum systems, ARTIQ/Sinara), but work on mechanical and othersystems will also be required (e.g. vacuum, cryogenic, and lasersystems). In parallel, the post‑holder will contribute to theresearch group by developing, commissioning and maintaining theresearch laboratories for silicon detectors and quantum sensors,and by attending and presenting in meetings (local andinternational), and will serve to coordinate between the DESYworkshops, Campus development groups and similar structures at theHumboldt University Institute ofPhysics.
