Controls Software Developer - Summer worker

The Machine Directorate at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, invites applications for a Controls Software Developer.

Title: Developing a Framework for Deploying Simulators for Complex Devices with EPICS.

Description: The ESS Integrated Control System (ICS) Division will develop controls for the ESS Accelerator, Target and Neutron Instruments. To assist in control software development, it would be beneficial to rapidly deploy hardware simulators and the corresponding control software to emulate complex systems, and to have a standard version control framework for managing the simulators and corresponding control software.

This project involves using Docker as a framework to rapidly deploy simulators and their corresponding Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) control software for development purposes. The framework will be able to deploy and configure simulator composites in order to simulate sophisticated devices such as a neutron instrument. There may also be an opportunity to develop simulators for actual ESS equipment.
