Job Description
Your responsibilities
Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are essential for future experiments due to their performance over large areas. With advancements in manufacturing and innovative concepts MPGDs offer a range of options that push performance limits adapting to diverse needs. The CERN Micro Pattern Technology workshop a leading developer of MPGDbased detectors and the CERN Gaseous Detector Development (GDD) team focused on detector design assembly and characterization are key players in developing technologies such as GEMs micromegas THGEMs and uRWELL.
This position focuses on developing expertise in MPGDs manufacturing processes supporting existing solutions and introducing new ones to meet CERNs strategic R&D program for future experiments. The candidate will:
- Contribute to the design production and characterization of MPGDs.
- Master fabrication techniques including resistive coating deposition (DLC B4C) PCB production thin film circuits flexrigid boards chemical milling fineline flex circuits and multilayer buildup with microvias.
- Work on interconnection devices and detector components bridging the gap between nanometric and millimetric fabrication.
In the past 15 years resistive layers in gaseous detectors have improved stability spatial resolution and rate capabilities. To advance this the MPT workshop has acquired a Magnetron Sputtering Machine to deposit thin resistive layers on large surfaces. A key part of the role will involve operating this machine optimizing its usage and resolving deposition issues promptly in collaboration with the DRD1 team to identify R&D opportunities and enhance the manufacturing and characterization of prototypes.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds largest and most complex scientific instruments they study the basic constituents of matter fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on
