  • Proven experience with clean room assembly of SRF objects or mechanical parts in ISO4 conditions;
  • Experience with contract management, installation, operation and maintenance of industrial data-acquisition, monitoring and control systems would be an asset.

Technical competencies:

  • Knowledge and application of clean-room techniques;
  • Quality management;
  • Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment;
  • Operation and maintenance of mechanical components and systems, ideally with RF components and systems.

Behavioural competencies:

  • Demonstrating accountability: working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises.
  • Achieving results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
  • Working in teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
