Mechanical Designer for Superconducting Magnets
vor 1 Monat
**Job Description** Your responsibilities**
**About the project**
In the superconducting magnet technology section (TE-MSC-SMT), we push the boundaries of superconducting magnet design and manufacturing. These magnets rely on materials with extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties, presenting unique challenges that demand creativity, precision, and specialized tools.
**About the role**
As a Mechanical Designer, you will play a key role in designing, testing, and optimizing mechanical systems and tooling critical for manufacturing advanced magnet components. In the first phase, your work will directly contribute to the development of a demonstrator dipole for a next-generation medical accelerator magnet.
**Key Responsibilities**:
- Design and Engineering: Develop mechanical designs for magnet components, assembly tooling, and production processes, incorporating advanced techniques such as additive manufacturing.
- Manufacturing Support: Design specialized tooling for coil winding, heat treatment in controlled gas environments, vacuum impregnation, brazing, and high-precision assembly of delicate components.
- Collaboration: Partner with engineers and technical teams to transform concepts into practical, manufacturable solutions.
- Technical Expertise: Utilize CATIA (or equivalent 3D CAD software) to create parametric models and detailed technical drawings that meet ISO standards.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative team at the forefront of superconducting magnet development, where your skills will help shape the future of accelerator and medical technologies.
**Your profile**
Skills and competencies:
- Additive manufacturing
- Tooling for superconducting magnets
- Brazing
- Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
- Proficiency in creating technical drawing (to ISO standards) and parametric CAD modelling (CATIA software)
- Innovative problem solving
- Teamwork
- Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field) and have either:
- a **Master's degree with 2 to 6 years** of post-graduation professional experience;
- or a **PhD with no more than 3 years** of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
**Additional Information**
Job closing date**:5th of January at 23:59 (midnight) CET.**
Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.
Working hours: 40 hours per week
Target start date: 01-February-2025
Job reference: TE-MSC-SMT-2024-209-GRAP
Field of work: Mechanical Engineering
**What we offer**
- A monthly stipend ranging between **6212** and 6828** Swiss Francs per month (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.
