Job Description Synchrotron light sources are complex systems made by a large number of mechanical, electrical and electronic components. Each instrument is interfaced with the control system, which enables remote operation through computers and networks. Magnets, screens, mirrors, grids, sensors and other components are widely adopted and their precise mechanical placement is mandatory. Motors, mainly stepper motors, encoders, and limit switches are widely used.
