Accelerator Operator

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

Participate in a rotating shift with team members and be available to work after hours as needed

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)
