Role Description

As a Survey Engineer in the Accelerator Surveying & Geodesy (ASG) section, you will be part of the team in charge of the metrology and the alignment of the HL-LHC accelerator components.

You will use state-of-the-art surveying tools and software to achieve the sub-millimetre accuracy necessary to achieve our goals.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Perform HL-LHC metrology measurements at all stages of the assembly of accelerator components from manufacturing controls of mechanical parts to final transfer measurements using laser tracker technology.
  • Ensure geometrical conformity as a key aspect of quality control throughout the production process.
  • Carry out fiducialisation-process of defining the mechanical axes of components and transferring this information to external targets for precise alignment.
  • Utilize Laser Tracker Instruments and Spatial Analyzer to perform high-precision measurements.
  • Execute and supervise metrology tasks, including measurement operations, calculations, and documentation.
  • Collaborate with a team of experts to build, inspect, and finalize next-generation accelerator components.
  • Perform the alignment of various components throughout the CERN complex, ensure the maintenance of the related survey infrastructure and geodetic networks.

What we offer

CERN offers a comprehensive benefits package, including a monthly stipend ranging between 5196 and 5716 Swiss Francs (net of tax), coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.

You will also receive on-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.
