IBA is currently looking for a
**system architect** for the Beam Production system function for heavy ions system.

The beam production system function deals with a superconducting accelerator for carbon, protons and other particles developed at IBA for Hadrontherapy system. It encompasses many different techniques and technologies to produce the particle beam used to treat patients.

As Beam production - System Architect, you are part of the system architecture team within IBA Innovation & Development department, a team whose expertise covers IBA system-specific knowledge.

Your role is to lead the development and technical follow-up of IBA particle accelerator, with a focus on the
**C400 cyclotron**.

You are the main contact point and the technical lead for developments, changes and issues impacting the heavy ions Beam production. This role encompasses Research and development projects, support to manufacturing and operations as well as coaching and training support.

In order to fulfill this role, you will gain deep knowledge of the C400, its various subsystems and interfaces with the Hadrontherapy system.

Your daily work includes a diversified range of tasks from challenging and reviewing user needs to maintaining part of the C400-related architecture model and documentation. In the medical device context, you will for instance analyze impacts and assess risks related to the C400 (risks for patients and operators, technological risks for projects or EHS and environmental aspects of the production).

You are a key player in the identification of technical solutions and rework options in case of non-conformities, among others.

This implies a multidisciplinary approach, good communication skills and collaboration with many other teams (e.g. physicists, mechanical and electrical designers, production engineers, operators).

Hard skills
