Job Description
Introduction
Are you motivated by precision mechanics and interested in contributing to innovative magnet technology for particle accelerators Join us in building the next generation of superconducting magnets at CERN.
The Magnets Superconductors and Cryostats (MSC) group in the Technology Department (TE) is responsible for the design construction and testing of both superconducting and normal conducting magnets for CERNs accelerator complex. This includes magnet cryostat design integration into accelerator systems and quality control and operational support for magnet performance and devices.
Functions
As mechanical technician you will be part of a multidisciplinary team focused on the design development and validation of new concepts procedures and tooling to produce small-scale models of CERNs next-generation low temperature superconducting magnets. You will contribute to key prototyping activities for coil manufacturing and mechanical assembly in close collaboration with engineers and technicians.
Your main responsibilities will include:
- Coil production: winding preparation for heat treatment preparation for impregnation and finishing;
- Mechanical assembly: assembling structural parts electrical connections and instrumentation;
- Inspection and testing: performing quality checks and functional measurements;
- Tooling support: assisting in the design and refinement of dedicated tooling and assembly processes.
If youre passionate about precision engineering and hands-on prototyping this is your chance to take part in innovative projects at the forefront of accelerator technology.
