You will join a dynamic team of engineers, physicists, and technicians dedicated to constructing the CMS Tracker for the High-Luminosity LHC. This state-of-the-art detector will operate at -35°C, utilising a sophisticated CO2-based evaporative cooling system.

During the period covered by this contract, sub-assemblies carrying silicon modules will be received at the Tracker Integration Facility (TIF) on the Meyrin site and integrated into the mechanical structures of the detector. The cooling circuits of the detector will be completed and tested, and large sections of the detector will be operated to validate performance as integration progresses. A large CO2 cooling plant is available at the TIF to support the main integration work, while two smaller plants enable targeted testing of sub-assemblies.

Eligibility criteria:

• You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
• 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.
