Job Description
Introduction
Are you ready to work on one of the most advanced vacuum systems on the planet?
With 130 km of cutting-edge vacuum vessels, CERN operates one of the largest and most complex vacuum systems ever built. If you're driven by the challenge of pushing the boundaries of science and technology, this is your chance to make a mark. Join the Vacuum, Surfaces, and Coatings Group and be part of something extraordinary
The Vacuum, Surfaces, and Coatings (VSC) Group is at the forefront of CERN’s pioneering technological research, overseeing all high and ultra-high vacuum systems across the CERN accelerators. From design to operation, surface engineering to acceptance tests, we handle it all. The Beam Vacuum Operation section (BVO) ensures the flawless operation and continuous upgrade of the vacuum equipment critical to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built. This includes the systems that enable hadron beams to circulate through superconducting magnets and detectors.
Functions
Within the VSC Group of the Technology Department, you will:
Operate, maintain and consolidate complex and highly specialised ultra-high vacuum equipment, instruments and prototypes for particle accelerators; Carrying out the technical design phase including writing technical specifications, preparing drawings, and supervising and reviewing the detailed design studies; Participate in projects aimed to upgrade and consolidate existing vacuum systems as well as in other projects involving collaboration with various teams in charge of other accelerator systems and engineering fields; Organize production of prototypes and carry out laboratory functional tests to assess the compliance of prototypes with both vacuum and structural acceptance criteria; Perform follow-up of the production life cycle for the new equipment involving regular front-line communication with both internal and external collaborators and companies; Coordinate the on-site acceptance tests of the LHC experimental vacuum chambers; Organize, participate and lead interventions in the accelerator complex and LHC experiments for regular maintenance as well as major upgrade and consolidation activities; Perform regular follow-up of LHC beam vacuum operation, including reporting and analysis of non-standard behaviours, and implement required preventive or corrective actions.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of mechanical engineering or a related field.
Experience:
Proven experience in
Design of ultra-high vacuum apparatus; Carrying out technical design of vacuum systems and in leading prototyping studies needed to finalise the design; Techniques and equipment for leak detection and residual gas analysis (RGA) in ultra-high vacuum; Hands-on installation, commissioning and operation of ultra-high vacuum systems; Preparing technical procedures for ultra-high vacuum systems.Knowledge of surface treatments and thin-film coatings for ultra-high vacuum applications.
Technical competencies:
Pressure measurement and residual gas analysis in UHV systems; Knowledge and application of materials, surface and thermal treatments for UHV; Design and analysis of high-vacuum systems; Installation and commissioning of vacuum systems; Knowledge and application of leak detection techniques and equipment.Behavioural competencies:
Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities; Communicating Effectively: providing others with timely information Ensuring that information, procedures and decisions are appropriately documented; Achieving Results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind; Solving Problems: identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them Finding the information needed to solve problems; making objective judgments based on all the facts available.Language skills:
