Job Description
Your responsibilities
CERN's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system is used to manage CAD data and engineering documentation for the entire accelerator complex as well as experiments of the Organization. We are now in a challenging project to replace the CAD data management tool with a modern PLM platform, simplifying the existing landscape of heterogenous applications. You will be a member of the PLM Service team providing CERN's engineering community with a wide range of applications and in particular CAD support in an integrated engineering data management environment.
In the areas of Design data management with the PLM and mechanical CAD usage (mainly CATIA V5), you will:
Provide technical expertise and advice, disseminating best practices and resolving problemsContribute to documentation and new working proceduresContinuously improve the contextual information for our own AI assistant chatPLM (based on a locally hosted Large Language Model) with new information coming from various sources like support tickets or updated release notes as we improve our platformExchange with key-users to analyse and formulate needs, develop design specifications with high-level data and process modelsPerform validation testing of the systems and the developed featuresYour profile

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's 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 http://home.cern.
