Mechanical Engineer – CMS Innermost Region

What You’ll Do

You will play a key role in the design, prototyping, construction, and integration of the mechanical structures and services for the innermost region of the CMS detector at CERN. This includes beam-pipe support structures, tracker bulkheads, beam-luminosity and beam-background monitors, and their associated services. The work will culminate in the equipment installation and commissioning at the end of the Long Shutdown 3 of the LHC.

Your Responsibilities

• Prepare 3D models and technical drawings, and perform thermo-mechanical analyses of complex mechanical components and assemblies.
• Contribute to component procurement and oversee fabrication of mechanical parts, including related quality assurance.
• Lead and supervise the assembly of mock-ups, prototypes, and final versions of support structures for the CMS innermost region.
• Assist with the integration and testing of the Inner Tracker and Luminosity Monitors at CERN.
• Support and supervise colleagues from collaborating institutes participating in integration activities at CERN.

Your Profile

• Proven experience in designing complex mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD tools.
• Experience with structural and thermal simulations using finite-element analysis.
• Experience in construction, assembly, and quality control of mechanical systems.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team, establishing and maintaining constructive and effective working relationships with a diverse range of colleagues.
• Master’s Degree or equivalent relevant experience in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

Your Skills

• Design and analysis of mechanical structures.
• Production of 2D drawings and 3D models.
• Knowledge and application of numerical modelling in solid mechanics.
• Manufacturing of mechanical parts.
• Ability to build and maintain constructive and effective work relationships.
• Willingness to share knowledge and expertise freely; ability to coach others to ensure knowledge transfer.
• Capacity to foster a common mindset and promote team spirit.
• Fluency in spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.

Employment Conditions

• A valid driving licence.
• Shift work, when required by the needs of the Organization.
• Work in Radiation Areas.
• Interventions in underground installations.
• Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
