At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
Electro-mechanical Technician (detector/R and D facilities) Job Description
Functions
- Ensure the operation, maintenance and upgrade of all electro-mechanical equipment, cooling and gas systems in the PH irradiation facilities. Further responsibilities might comprise the maintenance of simple software applications systems (e.g. electronic logbooks, data monitors) and monitoring sensors systems.
- Participate in the preparation of irradiation experiments including the conception of irradiation test setups in close collaboration with members of an international client community.
- Contribute to the logistics related to the handling, storage and tracing of objects irradiated in the facilities following predefined radiation protection procedures.
- Participate in the analyses and documentation of dosimetric measurements performed in the irradiation facilities.
- Using CAD tools, draw-up technical specifications and designs of prototype equipment for irradiation experiments and detector construction.
- Ensure proper documentation and storage of technical drawings and documents in the CERN document repository system.
- Take part in detector construction projects in the group.
