As a CAD-CAM/CNC Technician in the Large Magnet Facility section, you will support the production of HL-LHC and HFM of our mechanical workshop operating two numerically controlled (NC) milling centers (5 and 3 axes) and one NC lathe.

Your main responsibilities will be:

-  Writing the NC programs with the dedicated software tools;

- Using a NC post-processor to create programs when complex machining is required (e.g. 5 axes);

- Operating the NC machines when needed;

- Keeping up to date the inventory of the NC machines tooling and supporting the procurement of new and/or replacement tooling;

- Keeping up to date and/or writing the new procedures and documentation related to the operation and maintenance of all NC machines in the workshop;

- Supporting the workshop manager for several tasks like the outsourcing of some parts machining: finding new suppliers, getting quotations, following up on the orders, etc.

- Supporting the engineer in charge of the maintenance of all NC machines and more globally for all the machines under their responsibility in the workshops through the CERN GMAO tool: follow up & keep up to date the calibration status of all measuring equipment, etc.

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.
