Job Description:Introduction
Come and join the team managing CERN’s cryogenic facilities and designing the future ones. A great opportunity to work on technologies and equipment unique in the world. It is a challenging and exciting place to work.
CERN is the world's largest high energy physics laboratory, and its flagship accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), depends on having an unrivalled set of cryogenic systems. Having entered its phase II in early 2021, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study is capitalizing on the work of the Conceptual Design Report (CDR), issued in 2019, to refine its results regarding the architecture of the cryogenic systems of both FCC-ee (lepton) and FCC-hh (hadron) machines, aiming at issuing a Feasibility Report for the next ESPP (European Strategy Particle Physics) Update in 2026/2027.
For the specific case of the cryogenic system, recent developments within the study triggered the necessity to update the CDR for both FCC-ee and FCC-hh configurations, including the feasibility assessment for an FCC-hh option working with Nb3Sn superconducting magnets operating at 4.5 K.
Functions
- Analyse and review the first phase of the FCC study dealing with its cryogenic systems, including the preliminary design for helium cryogenic plants used in the FCC-ee (electron), FCC-hh (hadron), and Machine-Detector Interface (MDI).
- Gather and assess the heat loads to be managed by the cryogenic system for the -ee, -hh, and MDI configuration of the machine.
- Integrate and refine the cryogenic layout for the second phase of the study by applying the latest cryogenic system designs, reviewing the associated helium inventory, energy consumption, and operation scenario in an energy savings perspective.
- Explore alternative configurations for the FCC-hh by studying possible configurations of an FCC-hh working with Nb3Sn magnets operating at 4.5 K.
- Lead new engineering studies with industry partners to validate the proposed cryogenic cooling solutions for the FCC-hh superconducting magnets and MDI while looking for technical risk items and innovative technologies.
- Participate in the day-to-day cryogenic operations of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to gain practical, hands-on experience that will inform the FCC cryogenics design.
Qualifications
Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Cryogenics or a related field.
Experience:
- Demonstrated experience in the design, manufacturing follow-up and monitoring of industrial processes and/or in the field of commissioning and operation of complex electromechanical plants.
- Experience in dealing with complex industrial processes involving cryogenics or vacuum technologies would be a major asset.
- Experience in project and contract management including quality assurance management and control would be an asset.
- Knowledge and application of thermodynamics and energetics, including cooling processes and regulation.
- Knowledge and application of numerical modelling in fluid mechanics and/or heat transfer.
- Project management skills.
- Design and analysis of refrigeration processes and plants.
- Commissioning and operation of large-scale cryogenic systems and ancillary infrastructure.
- Problem-solving skills: identifying, defining, and assessing problems, taking action to address them.
- Ability to work autonomously and take on activities and tasks without prompting.
- Willingness to share knowledge and expertise freely and coach others to ensure knowledge transfer.
- Delivering prompt and efficient service taking into account customer needs.
- Ability to work well in teams, participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
Ability to speak and write English in a professional context, and the willingness to learn French.
