In this position, you will focus on systems engineering and conducting Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on various Intelligent Motor Control Center (IMCC) components, identifying operational limitations, execute radiation damage studies, dimensioning components and auxiliary services for both final facility and demonstrator.
Together with our international partners, you will work on liquid metal target technologies and possibly support the design of a small-scale liquid lead experiment at CERN's High Radiation to Materials (HiRadMat) facility.

Specifically, you will:

• Work on the conceptual design of the final facility target systems as well as for the demonstrator facility;
• Collaborate closely with designers, physicists, and engineers to align engineering specifications with physics requirements;
• Collaborate with international partners for liquid metal targets and absorbers;
• Present regular status updates at project meetings, gather feedback, and engage in technical discussions;
• Perform FEA thermo-mechanical studies, particularly for dynamic problems;

Skills and/or knowledge

• Demonstrated experience in thermo-mechanical calculations and CFD engineering;
• Experience in relevant FEA software tools, such as Ansys (or equivalent

You have a professional background in Mechanical, Aerospace, Nuclear Engineering, Applied Physics (or a related field) and have either:

• a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
• or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
