Electromechanical Engineer - Normal-Conducting Magnets

About this role

Responsibilities

• You will help shape the next generation of normal-conducting accelerator magnets for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), from design and prototyping through industrialisation and system integration. Working with CERN teams and industrial partners, you will develop scalable manufacturing and procurement strategies and apply lessons learned from the testing, maintenance and renovation of existing accelerator magnets to the development and delivery of reliable, cost-effective FCC magnet systems.
• Your responsibilities
• Design and develop cost-effective normal-conducting magnet technologies for the FCC, from concept and modelling through prototyping and system integration.
• Study and propose manufacturing and procurement strategies for FCC magnets, tailored to the scale of the project and targeting an efficient and effective production, installation and maintenance.
• Plan, organise and coordinate the maintenance, repair, testing and modification of existing magnets in operation, including specific renovation campaigns, applying the experience gained to the development of FCC magnets.
• Prepare technical specifications, reports and other engineering documentation, and communicate technical results to relevant stakeholders.
• Your profile
• Experience in the design or construction of accelerator magnets or comparable complex electromechanical equipment.
• Experience in analysing mechanical or magnetic measurements and using them to validate and improve designs.
• Experience in the procurement of magnets or similar equipment, either in industry or in a laboratory, would be an asset.
• Master's degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of mechanical or electrical engineering or a related field.
• Your skills
• Design and modelling of normal conducting magnets and permanent magnet systems.
• Operation and maintenance of normal conducting magnet systems.
• Design and analysis of mechanical structures.
• Knowledge and application of magnetic materials, and electric
