The TEMSCSMT section is responsible for advancing highfield magnet technologies for future accelerators. This work involves the use of superconducting materials whose unique electrical and mechanical properties present significant manufacturing challenges. As a result innovative materials processes and tools are essential.
As a CAD Designer you will be part of a team focused on designing developing and validating new concepts procedures and tools to produce smallscale models of nextgeneration superconducting magnets. The teams work includes:
- Coil winding
- Hightemperature heat treatment in controlled gas atmospheres
- Vacuum impregnation
- Electrical connections and instrumentation
- Mechanical assembly of delicate components
Your responsibilities
In this role you will contribute as a CAD Designer collaborating on the design of magnet components and specialised tooling.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds 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 .
Diversity has been an integral part of CERNs mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
