Your Responsibilities
">
">
* Follow mechanical aspects during assembly and loading of MQXFB magnets. This includes performing numerical computations with finite element models (ANSYS) to analyze strain gauge measurements and participate in the analysis of the test results, with a leading role in the mechanical analysis of these magnets;
">
* Conduct and analyze geometrical measurements on coils, magnets and cold masses, including the alignment of the magnets within the cold mass;
">
* Perform systematic analysis of the production data, providing valuable input for the design and construction of future high-field accelerator magnets;
">
* Assist the engineer in charge in overseeing the magnet assembly and cold mass construction activities;
">
* Perform magnetic simulations (ROXIE / OPERA 2D and 3D) or multi-scale modelling, depending on the project needs.
