Mechanical Design Engineer (TE-MSC-MMM-2025-90-GRAE)
* Full-time
Your responsibilities
Join CERN, where your engineering skills power the future of science. Join our dynamic team (TE-MSC-MMM) at CERN and make a difference in the field of magnet testing and qualification. We seek a highly motivated Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for innovation to contribute to the development of cutting-edge technology for the CERN accelerator complex.
You will play a key role in designing high-precision electromechanical instrumentation used to test magnets for the CERN injector complex, capable of operating under demanding environmental conditions such as strong magnetic fields, vacuum, or cryogenic temperatures.
In this role, you will:
o Design mechanical components and test benches using 3D CAD software (familiarity with CATIA is an advantage);
o Participate in the in-house manufacturing and assembly of mechatronic instruments;
o Follow up on metrology controls for both in-house and industry-procured components and assemblies;
o Assist in maintaining laboratory instrumentation and tooling.
This is a unique opportunity to work within a multidisciplinary team in a world-class laboratory.
Your profile
Skills:
o Proficiency in mechanical design using 3D CAD software; familiarity with CATIA is an advantage;
o Ability to write technical documentation and procedures;
o Experience with industrial follow-up, including monitoring manufacturing or procurement processes;
o Exposure to electromechanical components and devices is an asset;
o Proficiency in spoken and written English or French, with a willingness to learn the other language.
Minimum requirements by the application deadline:
o Maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Mechanical Engineering or a related field;
o Highest educational qualification: Bachelor's or Master's degree;
o Never held a CERN fellow or graduate contract before;
o Applicants without a university degree are not eligible;
o Applicants with a PhD are not eligible.
Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months.
Working hours: 40 hours per week.
This position involves exposure to electromagnetic fields under certain conditions.
Note: The selected candidate must obtain medical clearance before a contract offer is confirmed due to occupational health risks.
Job reference: TE-MSC-MMM-2025-90-GRAE
Field of work: Mechanical Engineering
What we offer
o A monthly stipend between 5196 and 5716 Swiss Francs (net of tax);
o Coverage by CERN's health scheme and membership of the CERN Pension Fund;
o Potential installation grant, family, child, and infant allowances, and travel expenses;
o 30 days of paid leave per year;
o Training opportunities at CERN and language courses for English and French.
