CNC Machining Technician (Milling-Turning) Job in Switzerland

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.

CNC Machining Technician (Milling-Turning) Job Description

Introduction
Are you a proactive, collaborative, multi-tasking, flexible technician? Would you like to work in a technical environment with complex and large-scale installations? Join CERN and put your skills and expertise to the test on some of the world's largest and most complex machines, fabrication and development workshops. CERN, take part and apply your practical and analytical skills to a wide range of technical challenges!
You will join:

• The Engineering Department (EN) that provides engineering competencies, infrastructure systems and technical coordination for the world's largest particle accelerator complex and its experimental facilities.
• The Mechanical & Materials Engineering Group (MME) that provides the CERN community with specific engineering solutions combining mechanical design, fabrication and material sciences. The MME group maintains and develops the expertise on the mechanical construction of beam accelerator components and physics detectors. The MME group involves a large spectrum of highly specialized activities, including on-site fabrication facilities and sub-contracting, CAD design and advanced calculations.
• The Machining & Maintenance Section (MA) uses a wide range of state-of-the-art CNC machining technologies with a tradition of knowledge and technology developed for particle accelerator applications and dedicated in-house facilities.

• Join an existing team of technicians and engineers, contribute with hands-on, practical work, and extend current knowledge and practices.
• Develop machining and manufacturing methods for fabrication of high-precision prototypes and components for accelerators and experimental facilities.
• Contribute to the whole fabrication process of product design, materials and parts, programming and tooling on CNC machining centres, including assembly methods.
• Setup and perform a wide range of machining tasks including machining and CNC programming.
• Fabricate complex setups, write and edit programs as required to meet quality and fabrication requirements on various types of CNC and conventional machining equipment.
• Fabricate holding fixtures as required to maintain quality and safety.
• Formulate machining sequences for the manufacture of standard and non-standard high-precision parts.
• Write documentation and execute quality control on the machined parts.
