Your responsibilities

You will join a dynamic team of engineers, physicists, and technicians dedicated to constructing the CMS Tracker for the High-Luminosity LHC. This detector will operate at -35°C, utilizing a sophisticated CO2-based evaporative cooling system. Due to the high radiation levels expected, the innermost layer of the detector will require replacement midway through the high-luminosity program. This necessity opens opportunities to develop and implement improved mechanical structures and electronics system to enhance CMS performance in the second half of the high-luminosity program.

In this role, you will engage in several crucial engineering tasks related to the tracker construction and future enhancements. Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing the quality control of the thermal performance of the tracker mechanical structures.
• Contributing to the production and quality control of components, as well as integrating the on-detector cooling system.
• Playing a pivotal role in developing advanced mechanical structures for the first layer of the Inner Tracker, preparing for its eventual replacement.

This position offers the chance to contribute significantly to a project at the forefront of developing lightweight mechanical structures and advanced two-phase cooling techniques.

Your profile

Skills and/or knowledge

• Knowledge of two-phase cooling
• Design and testing of mechanical structures
• Quality control

• Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.
• Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract.
• 30 days of paid leave per year.
• On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
