Additive Manufacturing Engineer; EP-DT-DC--GRAE

Overview

Employment Type:

Full-time

You will work closely with CERN and CSEM specialists as the central contributor to the Sensi Pipe project, with the goal of bringing to production readiness a 3D-printed pipe segment embedding sensing elements in its inner wall. The position is shared equally between CERN and CSEM's main premises in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

Overview of CERN

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, we are pushing the frontiers of science and technology. Our groundbreaking work brings together professionals from engineering, technical, scientific, and administrative fields. We foster an environment where innovation and collaboration thrive.
