Job Summary: The Operations Group is responsible for the safe, stable, and efficient operation of the Sirius synchrotron light source accelerators, monitoring parameters and correcting anomalies. Key Highlights: 1. Operate the synchrotron light source for scientific experiments 2. Control and monitor accelerator subsystems 3. Interact with researchers and technical teams To join the Synchrotron Light Operations Group (GOP) at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) The Operations Group (GOP) is responsible for operating the Sirius synchrotron light source accelerators. To achieve this, the group relies on trained operators capable of identifying, diagnosing, and acting upon any machine subsystem. In daily activities, the group monitors thousands of parameters related to accelerator and subsystem operations. In case of anomalies, the respective subsystem teams are notified to implement corrections, ensuring full accelerator functionality with high availability and reliability. The Operations Group also supports synchrotron light source users regarding beamline unavailability due to failures, experiment instabilities that may be correlated with machine parameters, and sharing operational information about the machine. **Responsibilities and Duties** Operate the synchrotron light source, ensuring safe, stable, and efficient machine operation for scientific experiments and scheduled studies. Control and monitor accelerator subsystems (Linac, Booster, and Electron Storage Ring), maintaining parameters within specifications that guarantee synchrotron light source quality. This includes beam monitoring and diagnostics, identification and correction of faults or instabilities, and adherence to radiological and electrical safety protocols. Interact with researchers, users, maintenance technical teams, engineering teams, and accelerator physics teams. Record incidents, operational parameters, unplanned and planned interventions. **Requirements and Qualifications** **Requirements:** * Availability to work on a 12x36 shift schedule; * Completed technical education in electronics, automation, electrotechnics, telecommunications, or related fields; * Experience operating equipment for measuring electrical quantities (multimeter, oscilloscope, RF generator, signal analyzer); * Basic programming skills in at least one of the following languages: Python, Java, or C/C\+\+. **Additional Information** **Our Benefits** Health Insurance – Unimed Dental Insurance – Uniodonto Psychological Support – Telavita Life Insurance – Allianz Private Pension Plan – BrasilPrev Maternity Leave (extended by 6 months) Paternity Leave (25 days) Childcare Allowance On-site Restaurant Meal and/or Food Allowance – Pluxee (R$1\.020,00/month) Shuttle Service Transportation Voucher On-site Parking Club – Telecamp Club – Free SESC Association Wellhub – Gym Discounts Partnerships with companies offering discounts **We reaffirm our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, encouraging applications from people with disabilities, neurodiverse individuals, women, LGBTI\+, individuals of diverse ethnicities, generations, and body types, as well as other socially marginalized groups.** At the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), we are driven by passion for science. Our environment is a vibrant research and development hub where professionals from diverse specialties connect to tackle complex challenges and create solutions for relevant issues—particularly in health, energy, renewable materials, and sustainability. We are a Social Organization supervised by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), at the forefront of scientific research in Brazil. We operate Sirius—the largest scientific infrastructure ever built in the country—and are currently developing the Orion project, a dedicated laboratory complex for advanced pathogen research, which will be available to the national and international scientific community. We offer a broad range of career opportunities for professionals of diverse profiles. At CNPEM, we conduct cutting-edge research spanning nanotechnology, biosciences, biotechnology, biofuels, scientific instrumentation, and accelerator physics—carried out respectively by the National Nanotechnology Laboratory (LNNano), Biosciences Laboratory (LNBio), Biofuels Laboratory (LNBR), and Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS). These initiatives are reinforced by challenging technological projects and frontier-engineering solutions led by the Deputy Directorate for Technology (DAT). This entire ecosystem is sustained by an integrated network of strategic areas—including information technology, communications, project management, legal & compliance advisory, human resources, finance, procurement, sustainability, and innovation—distributed across the General Directorate (DG) and Shared Services Directorate (DSC). The Deputy Directorate for Infrastructure (DAI) ensures facility maintenance, engineering support, and architectural development, creating optimal conditions for all activities. Ilum School of Science complements these efforts with a Bachelor’s program in Science and Technology, offering innovative training to prepare new generations of scientists for future challenges. We believe success is achieved through dedication, collaboration, and clear purpose. We value continuous development of our professionals and students, providing an inspiring and supportive environment for professional and personal growth. We are committed to sustainability and seek solutions that promote a greener future. We prioritize the care and well-being of our staff while valuing diversity and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and respected. **If you are passionate about science and seek a place where you can make a difference, join us at CNPEM.**
