About this role
What you'll do:High-temperature superconducting materials have interesting characteristics that make them suitable for future magnet applications. Come join CERN and take part in this exciting development.As a mechanical technician, you will assemble models, prototypes and associated equipment within a research and development (R&D) programme dedicated to the development of high-temperature superconducting magnets. You will contribute to the design, manufacture and assembly of superconducting coils, components and associated tooling.Your responsibilities:- Produce high-temperature superconductor-based magnet coils.- Assemble superconducting magnet models, prototypes and associated manufacturing tools.- Manufacture and modify mechanical parts using conventional machining techniques, such as milling, turning and forming.- Manage component stocks for assigned assemblies, initiate and follow up manufacturing requests and purchase orders, and perform acceptance tests.- Prepare production and quality-control documentation, including procedures, test and measurement reports and component traceability.- Produce computer-aided design (CAD) drawings of components and tooling, starting from 3D models.Your profile:- Hands-on experience in the mechanical manufacturing and assembly of electromechanical equipment, including conventional machining.- Experience preparing and using quality documentation, including procedures, test and measurement reports, and component traceability.- Experience reading mechanical drawings, including ISO-GPS dimensioning and tolerancing.- Previous experience with superconducting systems would be an asset.- Experience using mechanical CAD tools; specific experience with CATIA would be an asset.- Technical certificate or general secondary education or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering or a related field.Your skills:- Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment.- Knowledge and application of manufacturing methods and work preparation.- Manufacturing of mechanical parts.- Production of 2D drawings and 3D models.- Construction, test and installation of electromechanical equipment and systems.- Works well in groups and readily fits into a team; participates fully and takes an active role in team activities.- Takes responsibility for own actions and decisions.- Adapts quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements.- Listens actively to others and lets others speak.- Produces workable and timely solutions that meet requirements.- Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language.Employment conditions:A valid driving licence.Work in radiation controlled areas.Interventions in underground installations.
