Over the course of project, you will be at the forefront of development of a novel new frequency-tuning application for Superconducting Radio Frequency cavities, and will make contributions to the multi-physics design, manufacture and performance evaluation of the prototype device.

In this role, you will:

• Directly contribute to the Radio Frequency design;
• Make detailed multi-physics simulations and evaluations of the tuner focusing on Radio Frequency performance, thermal load, and power handling capabilities;
• Work closely with the mechanical design office and CERN's main workshop during the fabrication of the tuning unit prototype, with a focus on the integration of the tuning system into an existing prototype LHC cryomodule with fully equipped 400 MHz SRF cavity.

Skills and/or knowledge

• Knowledge of Radio Frequency or microwave engineering;
• Experience with multi-physics simulations;
• Experience in design and construction of experimental setups;
• Experience in software development with Python;

You have a professional background in RF engineering, superconducting RF (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.
