Survey & Alignment Engineer

ALBA is the Spanish synchrotron light source, a large research infrastructure operating thirteen beamlines, complementary facilities, and an Electron Microscopy Center, this last in partnership with other institutions. Currently constructing multiple more beamlines, expanding the Electron Microscopy Center, and integrating advanced data analytics, it sums up a wide range of infrastructures geared toward finding solutions to societal challenges.
Located in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain), it is funded by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Recerca i Universitats). The synchrotron light produced by 3 GeV electrons is used by thousands of researchers to analyse and understand the properties and functionality of matter, spanning a wide variety of fields, such as catalytic research, health, energy production/storage, environmental research, communication technologies, or cultural heritage.
Our highly motivated staff works in a multidisciplinary work environment with an atmosphere formed by lived diversity, inclusion and respect for our colleagues. One of the goals of our gender equality plan is to reach parity within the Consortium’s different divisions and offices, and several actions have been taken to encourage applications from women mostly in scientific, engineer and technical job positions.
Located close to Barcelona in a natural park and well connected by car and public transportation, with excellent connectivity to the world and an employer who understands the importance of life-work balance.
Facing an upgrade to ALBA II, a 4th generation facility, which will increase dramatically brightness and coherent flux, ALBA is in a phase of growth and dynamics. Being a part of the ALBA team will promote your career and will give you the opportunities to explore new territories.
For more information, you can take a look on our history watching this video:The S&A Engineer will join the S&A group to contribute to the management of the reference points network by the development of the following tasks:To execute alignment processes for components (accelerators, beamlines, instrumentation supports) during both installation and maintenance phases, as well as for new equipment.
To prepare and perform quality control for new parts and components (mechanical metrology).
To operate and maintain the instrumentation at the S&A group.
To perform the conceptual design and monitor the production of auxiliary mechanical components specific to alignment tasks.
To conduct vibration measurement campaigns, including the processing of results.
To participate in drafting the documentation required for the procurement of specific instrumentation for the Survey & Alignment group.
To produce results reports and perform any necessary calculations.
To coordinate tasks and ressources with other engineering groups or divisions to ensure the integration of alignment specifications into the overall projects.
As well as any other similar and reasonable duties or responsibilities assigned by Management, where applicable.
RequirementsThe requirements for participation must be met on the date of the deadline for the submission of applications and will be accredited by means of the CV attached to it, without prejudice to the power of the selection body to require the contribution of the originals of the certifications accrediting the qualifications, training and work experience invoked in the CV.
Applications that do not present the aforementioned or required documentation during the selection procedure will not be accepted.
The successful candidate must holda university Degree in Geomatics and Topography Engineering.
Selection Process DevelopmentThe selection will be carried out through the competition-opposition system.
As a first phase, an analysis of the curriculum will be carried out (assessment of previous experience and / or scientific history, degree, training and other professional information relevant to the position). Career breaks or variations in the chronological order of CVs will be regarded as an evolution of a career, and consequently, as a contribution to the professional development.
The assessment of the CV in the competition phase will be scored up to 40 points, which will consider the following aspects:1.
- Advanced training related to reference and alignment networks, metrology and high-precision measurement techniques. (Max 10 points)2.
- Experience in metrologyof mechanical components and assemblies. (Max 10 points)3.
- Experience in the operation, maintenance and calibrationof Survey & Alignment instrumentation and metrology equipment, especially with the Laser Tracker & 3D arm. (Max 5 points)4.
- Experience in vibration and mechanical stability measurements, including data analysis and interpretation. (Max 5 points)5.
- Training and/or experience in metrology,survey and alignment software, data processing and analysis tools. (Max 5 po
