Job Description

Your responsibilities

We are looking for a Detector Integration Engineer to contribute to the integration studies of the detectors for the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee). This critical role involves close collaboration with the Physics Performance Study Group, the Machine-Detector Integration Team, and the FCC Civil Engineering Team.

Your work will focus on optimizing detector proposals for physics performance while conducting engineering integration studies. These studies will address detector segmentation, assembly strategies, and opening scenarios during short and long machine shutdowns. Additionally, your efforts will need to balance engineering constraints, such as experiment cavern dimensions and main shaft specifications, with the often conflicting requirements of the detectors and machine systems.

Your profile

Skills

Technical Skills:

Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (preferably using Dassault Catia). Strong knowledge of structural calculations (using Ansys).

Competencies:

Understanding the fundamentals of designing high-energy physics (HEP) detectors and their integration issues. Familiarity with integrating machine components within detector volumes and managing related services. Ability to design and optimize service routing from the detector to the allocated space in the service cavern, ensuring efficiency in installation, operation, and maintenance. Problem-solving skills to address complex integration challenges. Collaborative mindset to work effectively across interdisciplinary teams.

Eligibility criteria:

You are a national of a . 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.

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.

About us

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
