Robotics Engineer Job in Geneva, 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.

Robotics Engineer Job Description

Functions
As a Robotic Engineer in the SMM Group, you will follow up on the conception and realization of novel robotic systems for inspection and maintenance, as well as their operation within the CERN accelerator complex to reduce human exposure to hazards and increase machines availability. You will drive the mechatronics engineering aspect for robotic projects from concept through verification and validation to implementation. You will design and implement new robotic control systems, end effectors, tools and intervention procedures based on the requirement of new missions.

More, in particular, you will:

• Design, prototype, construct and operate of custom robotics solutions, with particular focus on mechatronics and controls aspects.
• Take the responsibility for the selection, acceptance tests, integration and operation of off the shelf robotic systems/solutions.
• Develop and support, robotic mechanical interfaces, end effectors and remote manipulation tools to be applied to different robotic platforms.
• Design, develop and support mock-ups for the acceptance tests of robotic systems, intervention procedures, tools, sensors, actuators.
• Prepare operational procedures for remote intervention in an unstructured and harsh environment, including failure modes analysis and recovery scenarios.
• Under operational conditions, monitor, test and debug the robot's behavior to understand and correct possible root-cause and/or failure mode.
• Prepare technical documentation, test plans and test results, analyze results and provide conclusive reports.
• Mentor junior developers and robot operators.
• Interact with other groups at CERN, in particular, those in charge of equipment that needs remote maintenance, and with the health and safety department, in order to optimize the performance of the robotic missions as well as proposing a solution for robotic reconnaissance missions.
