The Canadian Light Source is looking for a group leader (Lead) for our Radiofrequency and High Voltage team. Our Radiofrequency and High Voltage (RF and HV) team maintains, repairs, and operates our RF and HV systems.
Who we are:
The Canadian Light Source (CLS) is a 3rd generation light source and a national research facility located on the University of Saskatchewan. CLS produces very bright light that is used to explore the laws of nature from the microscopic to the macroscopic dimensions and helps bolstering innovation in many technical fields. Through its 22 beamlines, it serves national and international users working on everything from dinosaur skins to mine remediation and from cancer treatments to cutting-edge electronics.
Where we work and live:
Our facility is centrally located on the beautiful grounds of the University of Saskatchewan within walking distance of Saskatoon’s riverbank trails and close to campus amenities such as fitness facilities, restaurants, museums, and galleries. Saskatoon is a livable and growing city with plenty of green space and walking paths, a thriving arts community, and a lively music scene. The City, as well as the provincial and regional parks within driving distance, offer year-round options for outdoor activities and exploration.
What your responsibilities will include:
As the Lead of our RV and HV team, you will oversee responsibilities within the group and provide supervisor, coaching, and mentorship to the team members. This will include participating in the recruitment, performance management, and professional development of staff.
You will work together with the Accelerator Operation and Development (AOD) Manager and other Leads and departments to develop the objectives for the maintenance, operation, upgrade, and development of the accelerator complex. Applying your expertise in RF systems and/or Power converters and other types of power supplies, you will be central in proposing technical upgrades of components or systems and will provide remediation plans to address identified risk with specific systems and to ensure high availability of beam for the user program.
We have a number of upcoming projects that you can apply your knowledge and experience to including:
Through your work with our experienced team, we expect you will rapidly develop a thorough insight and expertise of the RF and/or HV systems and become a “go to” resource in leading the resolution of operational issues.
Some travel (visiting vendors, suppliers, and collaborators) is expected. As part of this travel the Lead will showcase the work of the RV/HV group to the international community and encourage collaboration with similar groups in Canada or internationally.
Occasional shift work for machine development, operation, and maintenance is expected.
What you would bring
This role is right for you if you enjoy collaborating with and providing leadership to other professionals and experts in this field.
Qualifications you will need to succeed in this position:
Any of the following qualifications are considered an asset:
Compensation: Your starting salary will be based on your qualifications and experience. Our comprehensive benefits package includes four (4) weeks of vacation to start, health & dental benefits, life insurance, a pension plan, and a health spending account.
Should you be relocating to Saskatoon to take the job at CLS as part of your next career move, we also offer relocation assistance. Although housing prices in Saskatoon tend to be more reasonable as compared to other areas of Canada, we also provide a loan to support you with the purchase of a home.
