Control Engineer

Vor 5 Tagen

Garching, Deutschland European Southern Observatory (ESO) Vollzeit

ESO is looking for two suitably qualified Control Engineers to work in CSE Control Engineering group in the Directorate of Engineering. The department comprises about 50 software and control engineers, who work closely with other departments at ESO as well as many national and international institutes and industrial consortia to define and develop state-of-the-art research facilities for ESO‘s observatories in Chile, especially for the ELT. Ideally, the two candidates together cover the full list of topics listed below. There is no strictly defined work split between the two roles, especially the combination of a senior engineer with a junior engineer could well fit to the requirements.


Both positions:

The Control System of the ELT is largely based on PLCs. It consists of several local control systems of the ELT subsystems mainly delivered by industry contracts, and the central control system built ESO in house. The control engineering team is involved in all ELT projects, designing, analyzing, testing and optimizing control systems and standard server hardware.

After finishing your university degree in control engineering or equivalent, you have spent some years working on PLC based control systems over the full lifecycle, ideally in an industrial environment. You are familiar with PLC and HMI/SCADA systems and programming in some of: Siemens S7 TIA Portal, ProfiNet/ProfiBus, Beckhoff TwinCAT 3, EtherCAT, WinCC/WinCC OA. If you are familiar with PLC based safety applications (Siemens Safety Advanced, Beckhoff TwinSAFE), servodrive systems (Sinamics S120), electrical/electronics design or E-CAD Systems (EPLAN), this will be very much welcome. You are familiar with compliance checks, verification and acceptance procedures. Experience with hazard analysis, SIL/PL assignment, functional safety and the relevant standards IEC / EN ISO are an asset.

You will be working closely with various ESO project teams in an international and multi-cultural team, in particular on the ELT programme. You will design, implement, test and optimize PLC based control systems within these projects. Likely, you will also follow up one or more industry contracts and support the suppliers on technical aspects, join reviews, check PLC code quality, perform tests and finally join the acceptance testing and onsite commissioning.


Qualifications:

University degree in control or electrical engineering or equivalent.

Language skills:

The position requires a working knowledge of English.


Remuneration and Contract:

We offer an attractive remuneration package including a competitive salary, comprehensive pension scheme and medical, educational and other social benefits, as well as financial help in relocating your family and support to place your child/children in daycare.

Our Salary and Career Structure:

ESO‘s salary structure is based upon a range of career paths which reflect the nature and level of our jobs. Each career path is made up of two or three grades which are used to further reflect experience. The roles of control engineer / PLC Expert are in Career Path V. Please follow this link for more details public/jobs/conditions/intstaff/salary-structure/

ESO aims to support members of personnel in maintaining a good work-life balance (public/jobs/conditions/intstaff/#work-life-balance) between their professional and private life. ESO is also committed to offering family-friendly support (public/jobs/conditions/intstaff/#family-friendly-support), creating a work environment and policies which allow staff to balance their professional and private responsibilities through flexible working arrangements and financial support for families.

The contract is for a fixed term duration of three years and is subject to successful completion of the probation period. There may be a possibility of extension(s) subject to individual performance and organisational requirements.

For any further information, please visit ESO‘s conditions of employment (public/jobs/conditions/). Please note that the contract policy and in particular the regulations concerning fixed-term and indefinite contracts are currently under review which may lead to changes in the contractual conditions applicable to this position.

Duty Station:

Garching near Munich, Germany with regular duty trips to suppliers within Europe and ESO sites in Chile. At a later stage, during the ELT assembly, integration and verification phase, also longer duty trips to the ELT construction site in Chile are likely to be needed. If there is an operational need and the staff member is interested, also a temporary transfer to Chile for 1-3 years could be possible.
