Job Description
Introduction
Are you ready to push the boundaries of superconducting magnet technology and contribute to the future of particle accelerators
The Magnets Superconductors and Cryostats (MSC) group of the Technology Department (TE has the mandate to design construct and measure the superconducting and normal conducting magnets for the CERN accelerator complex; integrate them in the CERN accelerator complex; design the magnet cryostats and perform the magnet quality control. The group also provides support to the operation of the accelerators for magnets magnet performance and devices.
Functions
As a Mechanical Technician you will be part of a dedicated team focused on designing developing and prototyping smallscale models of CERNs nextgeneration superconducting magnets. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cuttingedge accelerator technology and push the boundaries of precision engineering.
Your main responsibilities will include:
- Mechanical Workshop and Contractor Coordination: Managing the mechanical workshop performing machining operations (e.g. milling turning on a lathe) coordinating a small team of mechanical technicians and liaising with internal workshops for subcontracting parts as needed;
- Manufacturing and Assembly: Machining and assembling highprecision mechanical components;
- Prototype Development: Contributing to the design and validation of components tooling and assembly processes for model magnet construction. This includes refining components and tooling using ComputerAided Design (CAD) software.
If you are passionate about precision engineering and handson prototyping this is your chance to take part in innovative projects at the forefront of accelerator technology.
Qualifications :
Technical certificate or general secondary education or equivalent relevant experience in the field of mechanical engineering electromechanical engineering or a related field.
Experience:
Proven experience in:
- Mechanics manufacturing techniques and assembly of complex systems to tight tolerances;
- Computer Aided Design (CAD) software for supporting the refinement of components and tooling;
- Machining operations (e.g. milling turning on a lathe) and coordinating workshop activities including subcontracting parts and liaising with external contractors.
Experience in:
- Prototyping and firstofakind development including constructing of mockups and dedicated tooling;
- Inspection quality control and testing of mechanical components to ensure compliance with specifications.
Technical competencies:
- Manufacturing of mechanical parts;
- Knowledge and application of manufacturing methods and work preparation;
- Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment;
- Construction test and installation of electromechanical equipment and systems;
- Reading of 2D drawings and 3D models including ISOGPS dimensioning and cabling diagram.
Behavioural competencies:
- Achieving Results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind;
- Demonstrating Accountability: working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises;
- Working in Teams: understanding when teamwork is required to achieve the best results; including others accordingly and sharing information;
- Demonstrating Flexibility: demonstrating a willingness to accept changing circumstances; supporting initiatives for change;
