Job Description
Introduction
Are you an enthusiastic engineer interested in the development and manufacturing of normal conducting accelerator magnets? Come and join a great team pushing the limits of this technology, working on the, take part!
Normal conducting magnets – in contrast to superconducting ones – operate at room temperature and they are at the core of the FCC lepton collider. within CERN's Technology Department (TE) has the mandate to design, construct, and test superconducting and normal conducting magnets for the accelerator complex. The group oversees the design, integration and procurement of magnets. Additionally, it supports accelerator operations by ensuring magnet performance and maintenance. is focused on the normal conducting magnets for present and future accelerators and beam lines.
Join a great team ensuring the reliable operation and the upgrade of all normal conducting magnets on the CERN accelerator complex.
Functions
As magnet engineer with expertise in normal conducting accelerator magnets you will:
1. Develop cost-effective technologies for normal conducting magnets, with a focus on prototyping and their integration into the Future Circular Collider (FCC);
2. Study and propose manufacturing and procurement strategies for the FCC magnets, tailored to the scale of the project and targeting an efficient and effective production, installation and maintenance;
3. Plan, organise and direct the maintenance, repair, testing and modification of existing magnets in operation, including specific renovation campaigns, with a view to apply the lessons learned to the FCC magnets.
Qualifications
Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of electro-mechanical engineering or a related field or a related field.
Experience:
We are looking for a magnet engineer to focus on the design and construction of normal conducting magnets for particle accelerators, in particular the FCC, with the following experience:
