Mechanical or Electro-Mechanical Technician 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.

Mechanical or Electro-Mechanical Technician Job Description

Introduction

Mechanical or Electro-Mechanical Technician in the BEAMS Department (BE), BEAM INSTRUMENTATION Group (BI), Mechanics and Logistics Section(ML).

You will join the Beams Department which hosts the Groups responsible for beam generation, acceleration, diagnostics, controls and performance optimisation for all CERN accelerators including the LHC. You will work in the Beam Instrumentation Group and collaborate with many different specialists in the field of electronics, software, mechanics and physics to master the challenges of maintaining and developing the mechanical systems measuring accelerated particle beams .

Functions

As a mechanical or electro-mechanical technician in the mechanics and logistics section, your task will be to design, build, install and maintain the complex mechanical systems used to monitor the particle beams in all of CERN's accelerators.

Your main activities will consist of:
 

• Mechanical and electro-mechanical design, production, assembly and installation of new instruments for measuring and optimizing the performance of the LHC and its injector chain.
• Maintaining the mechanical components of beam instrumentation systems across the CERN accelerator complex.
