Job Description

Your responsibilities

The Engineering Department (EN) pushes forward the limits of technology to provide innovative research tools to the physics and engineering worldwide community. The position is opened in the Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) Group, which provides specific engineering solutions for CERN, combining mechanical design, fabrication facilities, and material science support. In particular, you will work in the MME Main Workshop, which masters a wide range of machining technologies and performs critical production for the CERN Accelerator Complex and Experiments, through dedicated in-house fabrication facilities and through subcontracting.

As a Mechanical Fabrication Engineer in the Machining and Maintenance Section (MME-MA), you will:

  • Perform CAM/CNC programming (3 to 5 axis machining) of various mechanical components including parts for accelerators and detectors.
  • Provide corresponding technical assistance and support to workshop technicians, ensuring smooth operation of machining centres.
  • Participate in developing and proposing innovating machining strategies, to enhance efficiency of processes and quality of components, including design of machining fixtures and tools with CAD software.
  • Participate in the follow-up of contracts related the life of the machining workshop (maintenance of cutting fluids, procurement of equipment, of machining centres, etc).
  • Provide documentation and reporting: formalize your work by preparing technical reports detailing machining procedures and approaches, to ensure the preservation and transfer of the section's expertise.

Your profile

Skills

  • Experience with 3D and 2D technical drawings: ability to read/interpret technical drawings and ISO GPS tolerancing (dimensional and geometrical product specification standards).
  • Knowledge of CAD/CAM tools, preferably WorkNC and CATIA V5.
  • Experience in application of mechanical fabrication methods, with a strong emphasis on machining processes.
  • Knowledge of metallic and non-metallic materials.
  • Knowledge of mechanical fabrication in the following domains would be a strong asset: pressure vessels, vacuum chambers, cryogenics.
  • 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.
  • By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
  • Applicants without University degree are not eligible.
  • Applicants with a PhD are not eligible.

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 http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
