3D Integration Engineer

The 3D Integration Engineer will coordinate multidisciplinary teams and oversee complex 3D integration studies supporting CERN's third Long Shutdown (LS3). The role involves managing technical data, improving CAD data quality, and collaborating with diverse experts to ensure successful integration of advanced systems in a highly international environment.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate, monitor and follow up 3D integration studies supporting the third Long Shutdown (LS3) of the CERN accelerator complex.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams during on-site installation and maintenance activities to identify and resolve integration issues.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, update project information in internal IT platforms (e.g. Track It, EDMS), and develop dashboards to support project monitoring and decision-making.
• Create, update and maintain 3D models using CATIA V5 to ensure accurate and reliable integration data.
• Contribute to improving the quality of CAD data within the PDM/PLM environment and support robust 3D integration validation workflows.
• Help develop and standardise 3D integration processes, methodologies and best practices across the Integration Office.
• Verify mechanical and magnetic references in close collaboration with the Layout and Configuration Management team.
• Support the organisation and reporting of Integration Committee meetings, fostering effective communication and coordination between stakeholders.
• Coordinate laser scanning activities with survey and scheduling teams, ensuring efficient planning, compliance with safety requirements and preparation of access authorisations.
• Develop and maintain collaborative web workspaces to centralise information, facilitate knowledge sharing and strengthen communication within the Integration Office and with project stakeholders.

Requirements

• You are a national of a CERN Member State or Associate Member State, excluding Pakistani and Lithuanian nationals for 2026 start date due to ceiling limits.
• By the application deadline, you have a maximum of 2 years of professional experience since graduation in the respective field.
• Your highest educational qualification is either a bachelor’s or master’s degree; you must have a university degree and cannot hold a PhD.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Mechanical, industrial, systems or integration engineering studies.
• Organising and managing technical data using digital engineering or information management tools.
• Preparing clear technical documentation and presenting engineering information in a structured and accessible way.
• Coordinating technical activities involving multiple stakeholders and managing priorities effectively.
• Working with PDM/PLM environments or engineering data management systems is an advantage.
• 3D CAD modelling skills, preferably using CATIA V5 or an equivalent CAD software.
• Understanding of mechanical assemblies, installation constraints and 3D integration principles.
• Interest in process improvement, standardisation and engineering quality.
• Ability to analyse technical issues and propose practical solutions in a collaborative environment.
• Excellent organisational skills, with attention to detail and the ability to manage several tasks simultaneously.
• Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.
• A valid driving licence.
• Ability to work in underground installations and radiation areas.
