Mechanical Design Engineer (EN-MME-EDM-2025-38-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.

Introduction

The Engineering Department (EN) pushes forward the limits of technology to provide innovative research tools to the physics and engineering worldwide community. Within the EN Department, the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Group (MME) provides the CERN community with specific engineering solutions combining mechanical design, fabrication, and material sciences.

Are you passionate about mechanics, advanced engineering, and innovative designs at the forefront of technology? Are you skilled in numerical simulations and computer-aided design? This is an opportunity for you: you will be part of a multidisciplinary team designing, simulating, and testing a new generation of components for the Future Circular Collider (FCC).

Functions

As a Mechanical Engineer in MME Design Office, you will be in charge of engineering studies and designing new equipment and mechanical systems for high-energy physics projects and new accelerators, particularly for Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) equipment for the FCC-ee. You will:

  • Be in charge of the engineering and mechanical design of components for accelerators, including physical and digital models as well as specification and manufacturing drawings;
  • Perform state-of-the-art computations and simulations to dimension, analyse and optimize mechanical systems, components and their fabrication techniques;
  • Participate in a multi-technology project, in close interaction with other engineering teams and services;
  • Prepare documentation such as presentations, technical reports, engineering specifications and calculation notes;
  • Report on project activities advancement.

Qualifications

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

Experience:

  • Demonstrated experience in mechanical engineering and design according to industrial standards;
  • Experience with finite element computations and computer-aided design, including multiphysics, thermo-mechanical and explicit finite-element techniques;
  • Experience in scientific software packages, preferably ANSYS and LS-Dyna, and CAD tools, preferably CATIA;
  • Initial experience in coordinating mechanical projects from conceptual design to testing, prototyping and manufacturing phases;
  • Experience in preparing technical reports and engineering specifications;
  • Knowledge of mechanical engineering and design for accelerator equipment would be an asset.

Skills:

  • Design and analysis of mechanical structures by finite-element and analytical methods;
  • Knowledge and application of numerical modelling in solid mechanics;
  • Production of 2D drawings and 3D models in compliance with relevant standards;
  • Knowledge of design codes and compliance verification of mechanical equipment.

Personal Attributes:

  • Ability to work autonomously and take initiative;
  • Ability to cooperate constructively with others in the pursuit of team goals;
  • Ability to identify, define and assess problems, taking action to address them;
  • Ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities.

Spoken and written English: ability to understand and speak in professional contexts (level C1 minimum). Ability to draw up technical specifications and/or scientific reports and to make oral presentations.

Eligibility and closing date:

This vacancy will be filled as soon as possible, and applications should normally reach us no later than 26/03/2025 at 23:59 CET

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 licence.
  • Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.

Job grade: 6-7

Job reference: EN-MME-EDM-2025-38-LD
