Job Description

Introduction

Are you a versatile mechanical designer with a passion for challenging projects in the field of particle physics experiments? Then seize this opportunity and join the LHCb design and integration office where you will contribute to future enhancements and upgrades of the LHCb detector!

LHCb (https://lhcb-outreach.web.cern.ch) is one of the four large experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The detector consists of several subsystems such as a high-precision (~10 m resolution) silicon detector operating in a secondary vacuum, a 1500-ton dipole magnet and a large-area (~ 6 m x 5 m), lightweight scintillating fibre detector, just to give a few examples. Its operation requires complex infrastructure in terms of support structures, electrical power, cooling and data acquisition.

Integration studies are pivotal to ensure that the different detector components and associated services come together as a coherent whole.

Functions

As a member of the LHCb Technical Coordination team (EP-LBO-DO section) you will collaborate closely with skilled engineers, technicians, and designers, both from CERN and from collaborating institutes.

More specifically, you will:

use CATIA V5 to prepare 3D models and 2D construction drawings (using ISO-GPS norms for dimensioning and tolerancing),

perform integration studies of infrastructure and detector systems to be installed in the LHCb experimental area,

carry out mechanical dimensioning of components using analytical or numerical methods,

prepare technical specifications and procure components,

follow up on and take part in the construction, quality control, assembly and installation of components you have designed,

update models and drawings and follow the evolution of the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management),

take part in installation and dismantling activities in the experimental area,

participate in the LHCb infrastructure and safety stand-by duty service.

Additional Information

Eligibility and closing date:

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success. We welcome applications from all Member States and Associate Member States.

This vacancy will be filled as soon as possible, and applications should normally reach us no later than 20.06.2024

Employment Conditions

Contract type: Limited duration contract (3 years). Subject to certain conditions, holders of limited-duration contracts may apply for an indefinite position.

These functions require:

Participation in a regular stand-by duty, including nights, Sundays and official holidays.

Work in Radiation Areas.

Interventions in underground installations.

Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.

Job grade: 4-5
