Mechanical Technician

As a mechanical technician at CERN, you will assemble models, prototypes and associated equipment within a research and development programme dedicated to high-temperature superconducting magnets. You will contribute to the design, manufacture and assembly of superconducting coils, components and tooling.

Responsibilities

• Produce high-temperature superconductor-based magnet coils.
• Assemble superconducting magnet models, prototypes and associated manufacturing tools.
• Manufacture and modify mechanical parts using conventional machining techniques, such as milling, turning and forming.
• Manage component stocks for assigned assemblies, initiate and follow up manufacturing requests and purchase orders, and perform acceptance tests.
• Prepare production and quality-control documentation, including procedures, test and measurement reports and component traceability.
• Produce computer-aided design (CAD) drawings of components and tooling, starting from 3D models.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in the mechanical manufacturing and assembly of electromechanical equipment, including conventional machining.
• Experience preparing and using quality documentation, including procedures, test and measurement reports, and component traceability.
• Experience reading mechanical drawings, including ISO-GPS dimensioning and tolerancing.
• Previous experience with superconducting systems would be an asset.
• Experience using mechanical CAD tools; specific experience with CATIA would be an asset.
• Technical certificate or general secondary education or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• A valid driving licence.
• Ability to work in radiation controlled areas.
• Ability to perform interventions in underground installations.
