Your tasks
SwissFEL is one of only five hard X-ray FEL user facilities worldwide, and allows the observation of matter on the spatial and time scales of atomic processes. Many graphical high-level applications (HLA), employed regularly for the machine setup, require the operator to manually perform a number of steps before and after the they are used. To automate these steps and unify the concept across different HLA, you will develop a Python library to interface the corresponding hardware controls. You will also implement and test the concept for the bunch length measurement tool.
Your profile
- You are a student in engineering or physics, and you are at least in your penultimate year of undergraduate study (minimum 4 semesters)
- You are interested in software development and learning to write Graphical User Interfaces
- You have not yet completed your Master’s thesis
We offer
Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration.
The contract will be limited to 3 months.
