Mechanical Design Engineer EN-MME-EDMLD

Qualifications :

Masters degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of mechanical engineering or a related field.

Experience:

Demonstrated experience in mechanical engineering and design according to industrial standards manufacturing methods and assembly techniques within a design office in industry or research centres;

Demonstrated experience with finite element computations and computeraided design including multiphysics thermomechanical and explicit finiteelement techniques;

Experience in scientific software packages preferably ANSYS and LSDyna and CAD tools preferably CATIA;

Initial experience in coordinating mechanical projects from conceptual design to testing prototyping and manufacturing phases;

Experience in preparing technical reports and engineering specifications;

Knowledge of mechanical engineering and design for accelerator equipment would be an asset.

Some initial experience in working with international collaborations and external partners (industries and institutes) would be an advantage.

Technical competencies:

• Design and analysis of mechanical structures by finiteelement and analytical methods.
• Knowledge and application of numerical modelling in solid mechanics including multiphysics analyses radiofrequency;
• Knowledge and application of nonmetallic composites: properties heat treatments and fabrication. Knowledge of lowtemperature material behaviour superconductivity thinfilm deposition and vacuum brazing would be an advantage;
• Production of 2D drawings and 3D models: in compliance with relevant standards for dimensioning and tolerancing;
• Knowledge of design codes and compliance verification of mechanical equipment: including steel structures pressure vessels and machinery.

Behavioural competencies:

• Managing Self:
  • Working well autonomously; taking on activities and tasks without prompting;
  • Taking initiative beyond regular tasks and making things happen;
  • Remaining objective focused and productive in a stressful environment; focusing on solutions rather than problems;

• Solving Problems:
  • Identifying defining and assessing problems taking action to address them;
  • Producing workable and timely solutions that meet requirements;
• Demonstrating Flexibility:
  • Adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements;
  • Being willing to work on different projects simultaneously.

Language skills:

Spoken and written English: ability to understand and speak in professional contexts (level C1 minimum). Ability to draw up technical specifications and/or scientific reports and to make oral presentations. 
Ability to understand and speak or willingness to learn and improve French (courses provided by CERN).
