Technician in High Energy Physics

The Omega Group focuses on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. BNL is the host laboratory for the U.S. ATLAS Operations Program, the U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade Project, an ATLAS Tier-1 computing facility, and is designated as part of the U.S. ATLAS Support Center. The group has leading roles in the ATLAS HL-LHC upgrade projects for the silicon-strip detector, liquid argon calorimeter readout, and trigger/data acquisition electronics and has strong R&D programs on trigger/data acquisition, high-performance computing, and silicon detectors. The group also contributes to the development and construction of the LBNF/DUNE detector in collaboration with the EDG Group in the Physics department. The Omega group in the Physics Department at BNL is looking for a highly skilled mechanical technician to support the construction, precision assembly, qualification, installation, and commissioning of detector systems for the ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade and LBNF/DUNE experiments. In this role you will be collaborating with an international and multicultural scientific community and working closely with scientists, technicians, engineers, and students at BNL, domestic institutes, and international institutes such as at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
