## Description

**Muon Beamline Engineer (m/f/d)**

  

**Hamburg, Germany | Full-time | Permanent**

  

**The Opportunity**

Our client is developing advanced muon-based imaging technology for industrial inspection and non-destructive testing.

They are seeking a **Muon Beamline Engineer** to take ownership of muon capture, transport optics and radiation shielding, developing efficient beamline solutions for both existing experimental infrastructure and next-generation compact accelerator systems.

  

**Key Responsibilities**

-   Design and optimise muon capture and transport systems.
-   Develop magnetic beam optics for polychromatic muon beams with significant energy spread.
-   Model beamline shielding, balancing background suppression against muon signal loss.
-   Develop fast computational models to optimise beamline performance without relying on full Geant4 simulations for every iteration.
-   Evaluate permanent magnets versus electromagnets, considering field strength, radiation damage, cost and reliability.
-   Validate simulation models against full-scale GEANT4 simulations.
-   Lead technical magnet selection and procurement.

  

**What They're Looking For**

-   Strong practical experience with GEANT4.
-   Understanding of muon transport, particle scattering and radiation shielding.
-   Experience designing magnetic beam transport systems and beam optics.
-   Knowledge of chromatic effects and polychromatic particle beams.
-   Experience developing computational models for particle trajectory and transport optimisation.
-   Understanding of permanent magnet demagnetisation under neutron radiation.
-   Strong engineering judgement and problem-solving skills.

  

**What's On Offer?**

-   Direct technical ownership of a critical muon transport system.
-   Opportunity to develop technology for real-world industrial applications.
-   Access to specialist accelerator and experimental infrastructure.
-   Equity participation and competitive salary.
-   Relocation and visa support where required.

  

**Interested?**

If you have experience in particle beam transport, magnetic optics, radiation shielding or Geant4 simulation, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
