Job Description:

Your responsibilities

CERN is seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to join their team responsible for beam intercepting devices (BIDs) and radiation absorbers for the Future Circular Collider (FCCee). The successful candidate will be responsible for the analysis and design of various beam intercepting devices, including collaboration with P3 on the positron source, as well as work on collimators, MDI masks, radiation absorbers, lepton and beamstrahlung dumps, depending on project priorities.

The activity will also include development of the radiation absorbers for the FCCee main dipole system. This role involves defining and analysing complex numerical models to assess the performance of these devices under thermo-mechanical forces, including dynamic effects. The candidate will utilise Implicit and Explicit Finite Element solvers, such as LS-Dyna and ANSYS, to conduct these analyses.

Additionally, CATIA will be used for basic 3D modeling and integration studies of these components. The project encompasses both simulation and practical work, including prototyping and testing activities aimed at developing and optimizing mechanical components, such as leak-tight connections (flanges, gaskets) and cooling systems.

Depending on the candidate, the role will also involve conducting material characterization studies and exploring manufacturing techniques in collaboration with internal and external partners.

  • Mechanical Engineer or similar, with a Master or PhD degree
  • Robust knowledge in solid mechanics, engineering materials, structural and thermal analysis by means of Finite Element Methods
  • Solid experience in 3D modeling and 2D drafting
  • Strong analytical skills to approach unstructured and multi-parameter problems
  • Familiar with metrology techniques for high precision mechanics
  • Capable of working in multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural teams
  • Writing of technical and scientific documents
  • 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:

The position involves working in Radiation Areas and interventions in underground installations. A valid driving licence is also required.

CERN offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes a monthly stipend ranging between 6212 and 6828 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax), coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme, and membership of the CERN Pension Fund. The position is available for 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum. The target start date is 01-January-2025.
