As national expertise institute SRON gives counsel to the Dutch government and coordinates national contributions to international space missions. SRON stimulates the implementation of space science in our society. SRON stimulates the implementation of space science in our society. SRON has a prominent track record in the development of Xray detector technology and space instruments. SRON, as one of the leading institutes, has contributed to the instruments of Xray mission of ESA XMMNewton, NASA Chandra and Jaxa Hitomi. The Athena Xray mission has been selected by ESA as the next Large mission. It contains two main instruments a Wide Field Imager and an Xray spectroscopy instrument XIFU Xray Integral Field Unit. The launch of Athena is foreseen in 2031. For the XIFU instrument, SRON develops the Focal Plane Assembly, which can be seen as the optical heart of the instrument. It contains a superconducting Transition Edge Sensor detector array operating at millikelvin temperatures. The pixels are readout by Frequency Division Multiplexing. The readout electronics operate at MHz frequencies and consists in essence of superconducting highQ LCfilters and SQUID amplifiers. The flight detector array is planned to be delivered by our NASA partners. Parallel to this, SRON develops the backup detector array, but with different design. Our Instrument Science Group has a vacancy for a Physicist Instrument Scientist fm vacancy number 1486 Project Outline Within a team of instrument scientist and engineers you will be responsible for testing of the detector arrays and data analysis. For this, an experimental setup exists, as well as test scripts and analysis software routines.
