Job Description
Are you passionate about cutting-edge fabrication? Do you thrive at the intersection of high-precision machining and advanced joining applied to Radio Frequency components? This is your opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team developing the Tristron - a high-efficiency RF power source critical for the Future Circular Collider (FCC).
Your role involves participating in the R&D for manufacturing processes, working with the design office and engineering units to finalise the design and following up the manufacturing in collaboration with the methods office.
This position is within the Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) Group, which maintains and develops decades of expertise in the design, manufacturing, and assembly of advanced accelerator components.
The Engineering Department (EN) pushes the limits of technology to provide innovative research tools for the global physics community.
Your responsibilities:
In this framework, you will participate in the manufacturing R&D and the fabrication follow-up of the Tristron prototypes. This involves technical discussions and close collaboration with various experts in fields such as machining, vacuum brasing, beam welding, metrology, materials laboratory, and surface treatment to enable and support the R&D program.
Your tasks include
Triode Development: Focus on the mechanical realisation and development of the critical Triode components, including the Anode, Cathode, and Grid.
Laser Processing Development for the Grid: Oversee the development of laser micro-machining and other advanced manufacturing technologies for the grid manufacturing, utilising specialised materials.
Define and follow up on feasibility studies for High-Precision Machining: achieving sub-10 micron tolerances, required surface roughness, and precise parts fit-up.
Advanced Joining & Materials Engineering: Define and follow up on feasibility studies for vacuum brasing cycles and/or
