- →Conceive, design, and develop software for Continuous Integration testing and validation, including hardware‑in‑the‑loop test benches.
- →Add extended diagnostic and logging functionality to help analyse real-time software behaviour.
- →Develop new Python tools and PyQt6 GUIs for system monitoring.
- →Support the teams during commissioning and deployment within the accelerator control system.
Requirements
- ✓Hands-on experience in low-level and real-time software development using C and C++.
- ✓Experience in GUI development and data analysis with Python.
- ✓Familiarity with unit testing, Continuous Integration, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop development is an advantage.
