Job Description

Introduction

As a Mechanical Engineer in CERN's Engineering Department, you'll have the opportunity to get involved in the whole lifecycle of mechanical fabrication of components for CERN's particle accelerators. Come test yourself against a diverse range of technologies, serving as the link between physics and mechanical fabrication.

You will join:

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, the Machining & Maintenance section (MA), which masters a wide range of machining technologies through dedicated in-house fabrication facilities. MA section provides a CERN-wide service in the machining and mechanical assembly of devices for particle accelerator applications, while maintaining and developing a corresponding 40 years old know-how. You will join a team of highly qualified technicians and engineers in CNC machining. Perform tasks in a highly technical content, involving state-of-the-art machining equipment.

 

Functions

As a Fabrication and Maintenance Mechanical Engineer, you will provide engineering support for:

  • Maintenance management
    • for manufacturing equipment such as for machining, EDM, shaping, welding, heat treatments, vacuum brazing, surface finishing, NDT, etc.
    • Provide technical advice and estimates for machine and software maintenance.
    • Manage technical tendering for procurement of machining centres and related systems, including drafting of technical specifications and management of related supply contracts.

Programming and use of CNC machine centres

  • Production and supervision of CAM programming, for complex multi-axis machining. Ensure Maintenance of diverse types of CAM software.
