Your responsibilities
In a continuous effort to push the energy frontier, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will undergo a major upgrade, which will extend its service life and boost its performance. For that, more efficient detector systems will be needed…and we need you to take part in making it happen!
In this framework, the Experimental Physics department, and more specifically the Detector Technologies (DT) group collaborates in the development and design of the future ATLAS ITk Pixel detector. To meet the stringent mass and thermal performance requirements, this detector will make extensive use of both advanced materials and lightweight technologies. Furthermore, the adoption of a novel layout configuration and the extreme environmental conditions will give raise to a series of new engineering challenges, the answer to which will call for innovative approaches in the design and manufacture of the support structures, in the cooling methods and in the overall integration.
As a mechanical technician, you will contribute to the activities of the EP-DT group in this project. Your functions will include:
As a member of the EP-DT group, you will have access to state-of-the-art CAD, engineering tools and manufacturing facilities (e.g. mechanical workshops, rapid prototyping and composites lab), while benefiting from close supervision of experienced CERN staff. In addition, you will be in daily contact with the group’s technical staff and will have frequent interactions with collaborating institutes and industrial partners.

What we offer
About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
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.
