Mechanical Engineer Design and Construction of Particle Detectors (EP-ADE-TKLD)

Introduction

Are you an experienced hands-on mechanical engineer with a passion for cutting-edge technologies and precision assemblies Then seize this opportunity and join CERNs Experimental Physics (EP) Department where you will take part in the development and construction of the next generation of particle detectors.

The CERN ATLAS Team plays a major role in the construction of the future silicon ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk). In particular the CERN team focuses on the realisation of the Pixel Outer Barrel. These activities include the design prototyping and assembly of the support structures and tooling as well as the final detector integration installation and testing.

Functions

As a mechanical engineer in the CERN ATLAS Detector Team you will join the Tracker section (EP-ADE-TK) and work closely with personnel from the Detector Technologies group (EP-DT) in the design and construction of the ATLAS ITk Pixel Outer Barrel. Your functions will include :

• Participate in the conception and detailed design of detector components tooling and quality control infrastructure for the construction of the ITk Pixel Outer Barrel.
• Verify the design of components and tooling according to the relevant standards and best engineering practices performing both analytical and numerical calculations.
• Develop document and implement tools and procedures for the assembly installation testing and repair of detector components sub-assemblies and services.
• Participate hands-on in the detector integration work in Building 154 and the ATLAS SR1 cleanroom supporting the assembly testing and installation activities.
• Prepare technical specifications for detector components and tools following up their production acceptance and installation.
