Job Description

Introduction

Exciting Opportunities for Engineers in Accelerator Magnet Technology

Are you a passionate engineer eager to contribute to the cutting-edge development and manufacturing of normal-conducting accelerator magnets? Join our dynamic team at the forefront of this innovative field

We currently have two open positions : one more focused on the study, the other on existing CERN accelerators, transfer lines and experimental areas. Normal-conducting magnets operate at room temperature and, with approximately 4500 units of hundreds of different types, are the backbone of the injector chain, guiding particles all the way to our flagship accelerator (the Large Hadron Collider, LHC); this same technology will be at the heart of the FCC lepton booster and collider, enabling groundbreaking advancements in particle physics.

Take this chance to shape the future of accelerator technology with us

within CERN's Technology Department (TE) has the mandate to design, construct, and test superconducting and normal conducting magnets for the accelerator complex. The group oversees the design, integration and procurement of magnets. Additionally, it supports accelerator operations by ensuring magnet performance and maintenance.

is focused on the normal conducting magnets for present and future accelerators and beam lines.

Join a great team ensuring the reliable operation and the upgrade of all normal conducting magnets on the CERN accelerator complex.

Functions

As a technical engineer with expertise in electromechanical devices you will:

Design normal conducting magnets, ensuring they meet technical and functional requirements; Follow up the procurement of normal conducting magnets, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and timelines; Organise the refurbishment and upgrade activities for existing normal conducting magnets, including coordinating dedicated renovation campaigns; Perform testing and ensure the installation and commissioning of normal conducting magnets; Enhance the reliability of normal conduction magnets, including the hydraulic and electrical connections.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of electromechanical engineering or a related field.

Experience:

We are looking for a technical engineer to manage the design, construction and installation of normal conducting accelerator magnets, with the following experience:

Proven experience in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of electromechanical systems; Experience in the procurement of electromechanical systems and the follow-up of manufacturing processes; Experience of implementing maintenance strategies for electromechanical systems.

Technical competencies:

Design of electromechanical systems; Operation and maintenance of electromechanical equipment and systems; Construction, test and installation of electromechanical equipment and systems.

Behavioural competencies:

Demonstrating Accountability: taking responsibility for own actions and decisions Working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises; Communicating Effectively: listening actively to others and letting others speak Delivering presentations in a structured and clear way; adjusting style and content to the audience; responding calmly and confidently to questions Utilising effective negotiation techniques to achieve long-term results acceptable to all parties involved; Learning and Sharing Knowledge: proposing ways to improve or streamline existing procedures, processes and methodologies; Working in Teams: being ready to concede in the interest of the team; seeking agreement Contributing to promoting a positive atmosphere in the team through an optimistic and constructive attitude; addressing issues; Demonstrating Flexibility: demonstrating a willingness to accept changing circumstances; supporting initiatives for change Readily absorbing new techniques and working practices; proposing new or improved ways of working.
