Job Description

Are you a recent graduate in Mechanical Engineer? Then join us in a place that can be hotter than the centre of the sun, and colder than the vacuum of space, at the very same time. This is the smartest way to learn more than you can imagine and see your work travel at the speed of light. Almost. This is the fastest way to give your career momentum.

This is your Origin. Where your career begins. Take part!

Are you a motivated mechanical or general engineer interested to further develop the challenging vacuum system for the FCC-ee?

Do you want to join an inspiring team to pave the way for the future?

Do you have the ability to work in a team and also autonomously?

As a Mechanical Engineer, your main responsibilities will be:

• Develop new technologies such as additive manufacturing by powder bed fusion and cold spray; characterize and validate them for UHV applications with extremely challenging requirements;
• Propose technical solutions with a cost-effective approach for the design of the 200 km vacuum system.
• Generate 3D virtual models of the copper vacuum chambers equipped with lumped synchrotron radiation absorbers and of their interconnections;
• Produce 2D detailed drawings of these vacuum components to enable prototyping;
• Lead the procurement, via external companies and internal workshops, of components and prototypes of vacuum chambers and interconnections;
• Participate in the assembly of mechanical and vacuum systems and contribute to the characterisation or validation tests of prototypes;
• Write technical documentation.
