Mechanical Design Engineer (EN-HE-PO-2025-43-GRAE)
  • Full-time

Your responsibilities

Our Engineering Department (EN) is looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Handling Engineering Group, specifically in the Project Office section. The project office is composed of a group of multicultural mechanical engineers and designers and tackles all handling issues and requests in the CERN accelerator complex. A variety of small and big requests come through every day to support the physicists to move their equipment in the installation place. We support to make it possible: it can be a volume transport study (static or dynamic) only or developing tooling or machines and prepare detailed sequences.

We follow up the works on site and have the chance to see in real life the ideas come out from our studies. We serve all CERN community and are called to intervene in any part of our accelerator and experiment facility.

In particular, as a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will supervise the transport and handling aspects of the High Luminosity LHC project. Your responsibilities will include:

  • 3D modelling in CATIA of the environment and the handling operations
  • Proposal of tailor-made solutions to a variety of handling and transport problems
  • Definition and design of handling tooling
  • Follow up of the suppliers during the manufacturing phase
  • Follow up of the project: planning, resources, implementation of the proposed tooling and methods with the handling teams

Please note that this is an onsite position.

Your profile

Skills

  • Proficient knowledge of a 3D drafting software (Catia, SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.)
  • Ability to prepare mechanical calculation notes to be submitted to safety stakeholders
  • Proficient in mechanical calculations with Ansys
  • Fluent in English; the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
  • By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
  • Applicants without a university degree are not eligible.
  • Applicants with a PhD are not eligible.

Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.

This position involves:

  • Work in Radiation Areas.
  • Interventions in underground installations.
  • A valid driving licence.
  • Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.

Job reference: EN-HE-PO-2025-43-GRAE

Field of work: Mechanical Engineering

What we offer

  • A monthly stipend ranging between 5196 and 5716 Swiss Francs (net of tax).
  • Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.
  • Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of the contract.
  • 30 days of paid leave per year.
  • On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
