Mechanical Engineer for Detector Design and Construction (EP-DT-EO-2025-110-LD)

Company Description

Job Description

• design mechanical structures and services for this sub-detector and its neighbouring TB2S sub-detector; in particular, you will be responsible for the design, manufacture, and quality control of cooling circuitries that must operate flawlessly with high-pressure two-phase CO2;
• be in charge of the timely availability and validation of components needed for the integration of the Tilted TBPS; this includes organising necessary logistics and related scheduling, documentation and communication with the component suppliers and users at CERN and elsewhere;
• establish detector integration procedures, validate them with mock-ups and manage their execution and quality control in the CMS Tracker Integration Facility (TIF) on the CERN Meyrin site;
• participate in the final integration of the Tilted TBPS with its neighbouring sub-detectors in the TIF and in the final installation of the new Tracker in the CMS experimental cavern;
• develop and maintain engineering and production data repositories and support their use;
• you will also coordinate the work of corresponding CERN personnel, collaborate closely with different Tracker groups, and facilitate the integration of colleagues from collaborating institutes who will join the Tilted TBPS integration effort at CERN.

Qualifications

• construction and assembly of mechanical systems; experience with high-pressure fluid systems and fibre-reinforced composite materials would be an advantage;
• preparation and management of complex 3D models of large CAD assemblies; experience with CATIA V5 would be an advantage;
• preparation of manufacturing drawings, according to ISO standards;
• structural analysis, including finite-element methods and analytical calculations; experience with ANSYS is a plus.

• maintenance of websites and CAD data repositories;
• working in multi-disciplinary teams, including activities in workshops and assembly sites.

• 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.

• achieving results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
• working in teams: building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships;
• demonstrating flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements;
• solving problems: producing workable and timely solutions that meet requirements;
• managing self: working well autonomously; taking on activities and tasks without prompting.
