Job Description Your responsibilities**In a continuous effort to push the energy frontier, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will undergo a major upgrade, which will extend its service life and boost its performance. For that, more efficient detector systems will be we need you to take part in making it happen


In this framework, the Experimental Physics department, and more specifically the Detector Technologies (DT) group collaborates in the development and design of the future ATLAS ITk Pixel detector.

To meet the stringent mass and thermal performance requirements, this detector will make extensive use of both advanced materials and lightweight technologies.

Furthermore, the adoption of a novel layout configuration and the extreme environmental conditions will give raise to a series of new engineering challenges, the answer to which will call for innovative approaches in the design and manufacture of the support structures, in the cooling methods and in the overall integration.

As a mechanical technician, you will contribute to the activities of the EP-DT group in this project


Your functions will include:

  • Machining of components by conventional and computer numerical controlled machines (CNC);
  • Developing tooling and participate in the construction of mechanical assemblies and test setups;
  • Assembling of prototypes for the thermal and mechanical qualification, of highprecision support structures and of final detector components;
  • Supporting the Composite material lab activities and laboratory testing;
  • Performing metrology and quality control of parts and completed assemblies;
  • Procuring components, material and tooling.
As a member of the EP-DT group, you will have access to state-of-the-art CAD, engineering tools and manufacturing facilities (e.g. mechanical workshops, rapid prototyping and composites lab), while benefiting from close supervision of experienced CERN staff.

In addition, you will be in daily contact with the group's technical staff and will have frequent interactions with collaborating institutes and industrial partners.


Your profile
Skills and/or knowledge

Specific skills required for this job:

  • Comprehensive use of conventional milling machines with some basic knowledge of numerical controlled machines (CNC);
  • Precision assembly of mechanical components and structures;
  • Knowledge of CAD software;
  • Good communication.
  • Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
The following skills would be considered an advantage, but are not essential:

  • Previous experience working in a laboratory environment using metrology, electro-mechanical, thermal or pressure testing equipment;
  • Basic knowledge of joining techniques (e.g. adhesive bonding).

Eligibility criteria:

  • You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
  • Applicants with a Bachelor, Master or PhD degree are not eligible.
