Genf, Schweiz CERN Vollzeit

Company Description

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.

Job Description

Introduction

Are you ready to play a pivotal role in powering electromagnets for the world’s largest particle accelerator currently under study, the Future Circular Collider (FCC)? Take part

You will join theAccelerator Systems Department(SY), which is responsible for the beam-related technical systems of the CERN accelerators. The SY teams design, build and operate equipment systems in all CERN accelerators, and are engaged in ambitious forward-looking R&D programmes.

TheElectrical Power Converter Groupis responsible for the electrical power systems for the entire CERN accelerator complex.

Join theLow Power Converters Section, where you'll be at the forefront of designing, procuring, testing, commissioning, and operating thousands of cutting-edge power electronic converters that power the normal and superconducting magnets driving the world's most advanced accelerators.

Functions

As an Electrical Engineer, you will join an R&D team, taking responsibility for the definition of magnet circuit layouts, powering specifications, design, prototype production, and testing. In this context, your main duties will include:

Power converter design

  • Identify optimal circuit designs and technologies;
  • Develop and validate models to assess performance, efficiency, and costs;
  • Incorporate sustainability and environmental factors into designs.

System optimization

  • Collaborate with beam optics experts to ensure efficient, cost-effective powering layouts;
  • Develop reliability models to improve system availability and control.

Reporting and documentation

Share progress and insights in meetings and reports.

Qualifications

Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of electrical engineering or a related field.

Experience:

Required experience with:

  • Power electronics system modelling and design;

  • Numerical simulation software such as Matlab/Simulink, or similar.

Desired experience with:

  • Python language;

  • Numerical optimization.

Technical competencies:

  • Design and modelling of power electronic components and systems;
  • Knowledge and application of power electronics techniques;
  • Functional analysis of control systems.

Behavioural competencies:

  • Managing self: working well autonomously; taking on activities and tasks without prompting.
  • Achieving results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
  • Solving problems: identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them; addressing complex problems by breaking them down into manageable components
  • Working in teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
  • Communicating effectively: ensuring that information, procedures and decisions are appropriately documented.

Language skills:

Spoken and written English or French: ability to understand and speak the other language in professional contexts. Ability to draw-up technical specifications and/or scientific reports and to make oral presentations in at least one of the two languages.

Additional Information

Eligibility and closing date:

Diversityhas 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.

This vacancy will be filled as soon as possible, and applications should normally reach us no later than10.01.2025 at 23:59 CET.
