About the Role

Mechanical Technician Thin Film Coatings (TE-VSC-SCC- -GRAE)

Full‑time

As part of the Vacuum, surfaces and coatings group of the Technology Department, you will join the teams applying thin carbon coatings in the beam line of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during the next Long Shutdown. After an initial on‑field training, you will take part in the mechanical assembly, commissioning and operation of the vacuum coating systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design mechanical parts with CAD software for the coating systems.
  • Manufacture mechanical components on conventional (milling, turning) and CNC (milling) machines.
  • Perform mechanical assembly of ultra‑high vacuum coating systems.
  • Operate the coating systems to deposit carbon thin films in the LHC beam lines.
  • Propose upgrades and perform maintenance of the systems.
  • Write the suitable technical documentation.
  • Work in a multi‑cultural team of ...
