Physics Software Developer for Data Analysis
Vor 2 Tagen
Introduction
You will join the Future Circular Collider (FCC) group which hosts a team involved in providing software support to the Physics, Experiment and Detector activities for the pre-Technical Design Report (TDR) phase of the Future Circular Collider (FCC), the CERN flagship programme for a post-LHC research infrastructure consisting of a high-intensity e+e- collider operating as a Higgs, Flavour, Top, QCD, and Electroweak factory, synergistically followed by a hadron collider at the highest achievable energy.
Your job will be to take a central role in the FCC software ecosystem, which is the backbone of all current activities in the FCC Physics, Experiment, and Detector (PED) pillar, aiming at the evaluation of the FCC physics potential and of the proposed detector concepts. In particular, you will coordinate and actively participate in the design and implementation of tools and technologies enabling efficient data production, analysis and visualisation, and you will take care of getting sufficient compute/storage resources through IT for the mentioned workflows.
Functions
In this role you will:
- Lead the support, maintenance, and advancement of the FCC analysis software ecosystem by exploring, validating, and integrating new technologies to enhance efficiency, functionality and user-friendliness.
- Establish a large-scale MC production campaign strategy and directly contribute to its implementation.
- Contribute to ensure the provision of adequate computing services in support of the FCC PED activities.
- Oversee the development and improvement of FCC visualization tools, ensuring they meet evolving functional requirements.
- Coordinate contributions to the FCC software ecosystem, ensuring compatibility/synergy of the required software developments with the evolution of the Key4hep common software ecosystem, which is part and parcel of the FCC software.
- Engage actively with the global FCC user community, fostering collaboration and encouraging external contributions to the FCC software ecosystem while organising effective support channels.
- Supervise and coordinate tasks within the domains relevant to FCC software activities, ensuring alignment with the project's broader goals.
