Cryogenic Engineer

CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research

Geneva, Switzerland

Job Description

In the framework of the High Field Magnet Programme (HFM) at CERN, research is ongoing in the direction of cryogenic cooling schemes for superconducting magnets that operate at a wide range of temperatures and that drastically reduce the helium inventory. These new cooling options require thermohydraulic validation in a small-scale but representative environment. Using input from HFM cooling studies, you will become responsible for the design, commissioning and operation of a dedicated experimental set-up to test cooling options for magnets that use forced flow in confined geometries, reducing the amount of helium inventory.

Who we are looking for

Skills:

Experience in setting up experimental test stations;
Good understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics;
Knowledge of cryogenics/low temperature physics would be an asset;
Ability to create technical drawings in a CAD environment would be a plus;
Project coordination in multidisciplinary and international teams;
Problem-solving and analytical mindset;
Effective communication and presentation abilities;
Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.

Eligibility criteria:

You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State;
You have a professional background in Mech/Aerospace/Process Eng. Appl Physics (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.
You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
