This position will develop, upgrade, configure, maintain, and commission distributed software control, data acquisition, and monitoring systems for accelerators such as lcls, lcls ii, facet, spear and other experimental or research facilities at slac. The subcontractor will work closely with other slac employees to learn specific control implementations, applications, and best practices, while maintaining and enhancing subsystems assigned. This position requires deep expertise with the epics (experimental physics and industrial control system) and its associated tools and methods. This position has a multi-disciplinary role, teaming with software, hardware, project and physics engineers and will have continuous interaction with internal partners comprised mainly of accelerator physicists and operators.
Scope of work for each on-site subcontractor
specific subcontract responsibilities include but are not limited to the following duties:
-c maintain and improve the existing epics control systems for slac facilities such as lcls i, facet, xta, asta.
-c development of epics base extensions in epics 7
-c development and integration of new epics control systems, including but not limited to lcls ii.
-c new software development, such as epics device support, linux drivers, etc.
-c implementation of fpga-based systems, including real time data acquisition, data management and control systems.
