Job description

Position Summary
At Nusano, we are working to empower the world's leading companies, health care providers, and innovators with the radioisotopes needed to advance cancer care. Our state-of-the-art facility in West Valley City, Utah will produce radioisotopes quickly, efficiently, and affordably. This will make desperately needed resources available to hospitals and cancer clinics around the world and offer those with life-threatening diseases hope for a healthier tomorrow.
A Particle Accelerator Operator will work with engineering and physics teams to install and qualify particle accelerators and other process equipment related to isotope production. The Accelerator Operator will participate in a preventive maintenance program to ensure safe, reliable, and life-cycle accelerator operations. This position will interface with scientists, engineers, technologists, and technicians, and will also work with high-vacuum, electromagnet, RF, process cooling, electronics, controls, mechanical, and cryogenic systems. It requires background performing similar work in laboratories or accelerator settings. This role will provide end-to-end system support and will participate in various experiments throughout the project, including final beam commissioning.
Responsibilities
What You'll Do
  • Assemble, qualify, and operate accelerator and related subsystems and components
  • Operate and tune the accelerator and beam transport systems as needed by managing schedule and safety requirements using standard and proprietary software to control accelerator parameters
  • Diagnose equipment malfunctions and perform advanced troubleshooting to identify and repair or replace defective components. Elevate issues as required
  • Develop maintenance and repair procedures to reduce downtime and improve safety
  • Maintain a working knowledge of electrical and radiation safety systems
  • Lead safe operations, adhering to Personal Protection System (PPS), Machine Protection System (MPS), and other safety requirements
  • Monitor overall system health, maintain appropriate logs, and communicate deviations to the operations manager
  • Control access to restricted areas
  • Maintain training to meet safety and operational requirements
  • Communicate technical information in a diverse, multi-cultural environment
  • Work independently to complete assignments, including physical activities such as lifting objects and participating in radiological activities that require multiple layers of PPE and a respirator
  • Work with electronic test equipment and tools (handheld and benchtop devices)
  • This position will be assigned to working hours that correspond with shift rotations that require 24/7/365 coverage

Qualifications
Minimum Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in physics, engineering or related field with at least 1 year of operations experience; associate's degree candidates with exceptional qualifications may be considered
  • Diagnostic skills and experience in troubleshooting one or more of the following: electrical, mechanical, vacuum, RF, electromagnet, cryogenic, controls, and high voltage systems
  • Experience following and writing formal procedures and understanding technical drawings and schematics
  • Able to work with a wide variety of hand and power tools
  • Experience with electrical work (cable assembly, soldering, testing, etc.)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • Leadership, communication, teamwork, and team player skills

Preferred Requirements
  • Particle accelerator operations experience
  • Proficient with precision mechanical inspection tools (calipers, micrometer, height gauge, etc.)
  • Experience with high-voltage and high-power electronics
  • Experience with RF systems and vacuum-electron devices (tubes, klystrons)

Physical Requirements
  • Work to be conducted in an office environment, laboratories, engineering, R&D, and/or production environment
  • Must be comfortable working within radiation environments and or cGMP
  • Work in this environment may involve exposure to hazardous materials and conditions, including high voltage, strong magnetic fields, chemicals, cryogenic substances, and radiological sources. These hazards require specialized training, strict adherence to safety procedures, and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
  • Must be able to sit for long periods of time
  • Frequent use of computer with repetitive use of keyboard, mouse, and manual dexterity
  • Must be able to lift, push, and/or pull a maximum of 50 pounds
  • Ability to travel 2-4 weeks per year for training, attending conferences, and other business needs
