You will:

• Support the future upgrades of ALICE during the upcoming Long Shutdowns, LS3 and LS4. This involves manufacturing, assembling, and testing infrastructure components, such as a large non-magnetic stainless-steel platform capable of supporting a new 15-ton detector at a height of 6 meters from the cavern floor. Another example is the construction of the experiment's structural skeleton, measuring 7 meters in length and 3 meters in diameter. This skeleton utilizes lightweight materials like aluminum and carbon fiber, and it is meticulously designed to accommodate various detector modules and subsystems.
• Contribute to the preparation for the dismantling of the ALICE detector during LS4. This will involve the preparation and testing of de-installation equipment and infrastructure, including lifting jigs, platforms, rotation stands, and tools. It will also include the development of infrastructure for service disconnection and dismantling, encompassing data, power, and cooling line disconnections, as well as hydraulic systems capable of moving large (27m in height) and heavy (400 tons) iron structures.
• Work on precise and ultralight mechanics for the R&D and construction of future ALICE detectors, with a specific focus on the mechanical support structures for vertex and tracking detectors. These structures are constructed using carbon fiber composites to leverage their exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring structural stability while minimizing mass. This activity additionally involves the construction of highly precise jigs and tools to align and assemble detector sensors with micrometric accuracy. Furthermore, the development of the detector cooling system will incorporate mini/micro liquid cooling networks and/or gas cooling flow.
