Company Description
At 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. Find out more on http://home.cern.
Job Description
Introduction
Are you an experienced software engineer with expertise using LabVIEW? Do you want to create systems that test and validate superconducting magnets and cables, verifying components of the largest particle accelerator in the world? Do you want to improve your engineering skills and work on solving challenging measurement and control issues? Join CERN and discover a whole new world of engineering and technical challenges!
