The Mechanical and Materials Engineering (EN-MME) group, within the Engineering Department (EN), is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design, calculations and production of a superconducting, 400 MHz Radio Frequency (RF) accelerating cavity inside a helium tank, with a mechanical tuner. Four such cavities will be integrated inside a cryo-module. This subject is part of an R&D study in preparation of the possible future FCC-ee collider project.

You will play a significant role in the general design choices for the integration of the Nb deposited, copper cavity inside a helium tank and the mechanical tuner that is used to change the fundamental frequency of the cavity. You will use ANSYS and COMSOL to model and compare different design choices and to perform different mechanical studies such as pressure vessel assessment, thermal-, modal-, transport-, buckling, fatigue- and precision mechanisms analysis for the above-mentioned R&D project.
