Job Description
Join the Geodetic Metrology group at CERN, where you will contribute to the high-precision metrology and alignment of critical accelerator components for the High-Luminosity LHC project. You will work with state-of-the-art surveying instruments, sensor networks, and alignment software to achieve sub-millimetre and micrometre-level accuracy in a challenging underground environment. Your main focus will be the support of the preparation, installation, and commissioning of the Full Remote Adjustment System (FRAS), including micrometric sensor deployment and commissioning.
Your responsibilities
Prepare the deployment of FRAS system components (testing alignment equipment, sensors, and associated software, etc.).
Install and commission the FRAS systems in the LHC tunnel.
Perform high-precision metrology and alignment measurements of components to be installed as part of the HL-LHC project.

Your profile
Strong interest in the domain of high precision geodetic or industrial metrology.
Experience of the instruments and the methods used in high accuracy metrology.
Demonstrated curiosity and attention to detail.
Skills
Knowledge and application of high accuracy survey methods and tools: laser tracker, digital and optical levels, etc.
Preparation of mathematical models and algorithms (theories, concepts and algorithms related to the least square adjustment).
Knowledge of programming techniques and languages would be an advantage: in particular, object-oriented languages and numeric platforms like Matlab, Python.
Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language.
Eligibility criteria:
You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation
