Job Description

Introduction

Are you a highly motivated mechanical engineer eager to take in exciting challenges?

Are you ready to design the longest ultra-high vacuum system ever built and do you have a solid technical background and experience in mechanical and structural design? 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 our dynamic team responsible for the development of the vacuum system for the Future Circular Collider

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 Design, Logistics and Methods section (DLM) is in charge of the design of vacuum systems from the conceptual design to engineering, through prototyping.

Functions

Within the VSC Group of the Technology Department, you will:

Design the ultra-high vacuum system for the Future electron-positron Circular Collider (FCCee) storage rings and booster, including vacuum chambers and interconnections; Contribute to the development of vacuum technologies required for the FCCee, including thermal spray, additive manufacturing, shape-memory-alloy implementation and new welding techniques; Define and carry out characterisation tests to assess new technical solutions. Design, produce and assemble prototypes and their test benches; Test materials for compatibility with vacuum environments, including leak detection and outgassing rate measurements; Lead and actively participate in the design, manufacturing and installation of FCCee vacuum system mock-ups; Play an active role in multidisciplinary projects, requiring close collaboration with teams in charge of other accelerator systems and engineering fields.

Qualifications

Master's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of mechanical engineering. or a related field.

Experience:

Proven experience in:

Finite element methods for nonlinear, static and dynamic, thermal and mechanical analysis.conceptual design of complex and multidisciplinary systems; Carrying out technical design of complex systems and in leading development and prototyping studies; 3D mechanical design and in drafting 2D technical production drawings; Preparing scientific documentation, technical notes and reports for complex systems.

Knowledge of:

Vacuum systems, surface treatments and thin-film coatings for ultra-high vacuum applications; Materials, including shape memory alloys, for ultra-high vacuum applications.

Technical competencies:

Production of 2D drawings and 3D models: by ISO dimensioning and tolerancing; Knowledge and application of materials, surface and thermal treatments for UHV; Knowledge and application of leak detection techniques and equipment; Knowledge and application of numerical modelling in fluid mechanics and/or heat transfer.

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 Demonstrating Flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements Readily accepting new tasks or work/projects Demonstrating Accountability: working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises
