Mechanical Technician Thin Film Coatings (TE-VSC-SCC--GRAE)

Full‑time

As part of the Vacuum, surfaces and coatings group of the Technology Department, you will join the teams applying thin carbon coatings in the beam line of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during the next Long Shutdown. After an initial on‑field training, you will take part in the mechanical assembly, commissioning and operation of the vacuum coating systems.

• Design mechanical parts with CAD software for the coating systems.
• Manufacture mechanical components on conventional (milling, turning) and CNC (milling) machines.
• Perform mechanical assembly of ultra‑high vacuum coating systems.
• Operate the coating systems to deposit carbon thin films in the LHC beam lines.
• Propose upgrades and perform maintenance of the systems.
• Write the suitable technical documentation.
• Work in a multi‑cultural team of engineers and technicians.
• Proficiency in design of mechanical parts with CAD software.
• Practical experience in using conventional milling and turning machines.
• Experience in reading mechanical drawings.
• Experience in operation of vacuum system and/or coating system would be an asset.
• Experience in operating CNC machines would be an asset.

• Mechanical machining (conventional, CNC).
• Mechanical assembly.
• Mechanical design with CATIA, or equivalent CAD software.
• Operation of vacuum systems.
• Writing of reports.
• Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language.
• Maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Mechanics Manufacturing (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is a general secondary education diploma.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Applicants with a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree are not eligible.

• Duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.
• Working hours:
  
  40 hours per week.
• Job flexibility:
