Full Job Description
As a mechanical engineer, you will participate in the enhancement of the [LHCb electromagnetic calorimeter](https://lhcb-outreach.web.cern.ch/detector/calorimeter-system/) (ECAL) in the coming years. This includes participation in the produciton of new ECAL modules and the re-assembly of the ECAL structure. Your responsibilities * Prepare 3D models and drawings of mechanical parts and assemblies. * Participate in procurement and quality assurance tasks for new ECAL modules. * Contribute to the design work in view of the re-assembly of the ECAL, including finite element studies of mechanical structures. * In addition, participate in R&D towards the improvement of the existing ECAL modules. Your profile * Proven track record in designing mechanical parts and assemblies using 3D CAD tools. * Hands-on experience in structural simulations using finite element analysis. * Experience with heavy materials used as absorbers in calorimetry (lead, tungsten) is an advantage. * Experience with additive manufacturing, in particular utilising metals, is an advantage. Skills * Knowledge of the CATIA and Ansys Mechanical software packages is an advantage. * Ability to work in an international multi-disciplinary team with physicists, engineers and technicians. * Skills to prepare comprehensive technical documentation. * Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French. Eligibility criteria: * You are a national of a [CERN Member or Associate Member State](https://home.cern/about/member-states). * By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree. * You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before. * Applicants without University degree are not eligible. * Applicants with a PhD are not eligible. ## Additional Information Job closing date: 02.07.2026 at 23:59 CEST.
