Mechanical Engineer - Ultra-High Vacuum Design (TE-VSC-DLM-2024-203-LD)
  • Contract

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.

Introduction

Are you a highly motivated mechanical engineer eager to take on exciting challenges? Are you ready to design the longest ultra-high vacuum system ever built and do you have a solid technical background and experience in mechanical and structural design? If you're driven by the challenge of pushing the boundaries of science and technology, this is your chance to make a mark. Join the Vacuum, Surfaces, and Coatings Group and be part of our dynamic team responsible for the development of the vacuum system for the Future Circular Collider

The Vacuum, Surfaces, and Coatings (VSC) Group is at the forefront of CERN’s pioneering technological research, overseeing all high and ultra-high vacuum systems across the CERN accelerators. From design to operation, surface engineering to acceptance tests, we handle it all. The Design, Logistics and Methods section (DLM) is in charge of the design of vacuum systems from the conceptual design to engineering, through prototyping.

Functions

Within the VSC Group of the Technology Department, you will:

  • Design the ultra-high vacuum system for the Future electron-positron Circular Collider (FCCee) storage rings and booster, including vacuum chambers and interconnections;
  • Contribute to the development of vacuum technologies required for the FCCee, including thermal spray, additive manufacturing, shape-memory-alloy implementation, and new welding techniques;
  • Define and carry out characterization tests to assess new technical solutions. Design, produce and assemble prototypes and their test benches;
  • Test materials for compatibility with vacuum environments, including leak detection and outgassing rate measurements;
  • Lead and actively participate in the design, manufacturing, and installation of FCCee vacuum system mock-ups;
  • Play an active role in multidisciplinary projects, requiring close collaboration with teams in charge of other accelerator systems and engineering fields.

Qualifications

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

Experience:

  • Finite element methods for nonlinear, static and dynamic, thermal and mechanical analysis;
  • Carrying out technical design of complex systems and in leading development and prototyping studies;
  • 3D mechanical design and drafting 2D technical production drawings;
  • Preparing scientific documentation, technical notes, and reports for complex systems.

Knowledge of:

  • Vacuum systems, surface treatments, and thin-film coatings for ultra-high vacuum applications;
  • Materials, including shape memory alloys, for ultra-high vacuum applications;
  • Production of 2D drawings and 3D models by ISO dimensioning and tolerancing;
  • Knowledge and application of materials, surface, and thermal treatments for UHV;
  • Knowledge and application of leak detection techniques and equipment;
  • Knowledge and application of numerical modeling in fluid mechanics and/or heat transfer.

Skills:

  • 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: providing others with timely information, ensuring that information, procedures, and decisions are appropriately documented;
  • Demonstrating Flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements, readily accepting new tasks or work/projects;
  • Demonstrating Accountability: working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises.

Spoken and written English in professional contexts and the willingness to learn French.

Eligibility and closing date:

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.

This vacancy will be filled as soon as possible, and applications should normally reach us no later than 26.01.2025 at 00.00 Geneva time.

Employment Conditions

Contract type: Limited duration contract (5 years). Subject to certain conditions, holders of limited-duration contracts may apply for an indefinite position.

Working Hours: 40 hours per week.

This position involves:

  • Work in Radiation Areas;
  • A valid driving license;
  • Stand-by duty, when required by the needs of the Organization;
  • Given the occupational health risks associated with this position, the selected candidate must obtain medical clearance before a contract offer is confirmed;
  • Interventions in underground installations.

Job grade: 6-7
