Genf, Schweiz CERN & Society Foundation Vollzeit
Mechanical Engineer for CMS TBPS Project (EP-DT-CO-2025-52-GRAE)
  • Full-time

Your responsibilities

The Detector Technologies (DT) group is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design, manufacture, and integration of the TBPS detector, a key component of the CMS Tracker upgrade at CERN. The TBPS will feature high-precision carbon-fibre support structures with embedded cooling pipework, serving hundreds of silicon detector modules while also supporting neighboring detectors.

You will play a critical role in mechanical design, integration, and assembly, working closely with senior engineers, designers, and technicians to ensure the successful development and construction of the detector. The role will involve collaboration with various CERN teams as well as external companies and institutes contributing to the CMS Tracker project.

Responsibilities:

  • Prepare 3D models and technical drawings for the production of mechanical parts and assemblies.
  • Develop detailed 3D integration models for cooling pipework, electrical cables, and optical fibers.
  • Support part procurement, quality control, detector assembly, and testing in CERN's workshops and assembly labs.
  • Assist with logistics and installation tasks, including occasional participation in equipment installation at the CMS experiment site and its underground facilities.
  • Good skills in 3D CAD modelling. Knowledge of CATIA V5 would be an advantage.
  • Experience of mechanical engineering drawings. Understanding of ISO-GPS and dimensional measurement methods would be an advantage.
  • Knowledge of common construction materials (metals and plastics).
  • Hands-on experience on manufacture of mechanical parts and assemblies would be an advantage.
  • Familiar with composite materials would be an advantage.
  • 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 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.

Working hours: 40 hours per week

Job flexibility: Hybrid

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: EP-DT-CO-2025-52-GRAE

Field of work: Mechanical Engineering

Benchmark job: 200090 - Mechanical Engineer

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 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.
