Job Description
Following the vacuum work package activities for all the LHC experimental area. In particular, for CMS, ALICE, LHCb and ATLAS the new HL-LHC will induce an important upgrade of the vacuum system.
Working at CERN in the LHC Beam Vacuum Experimental Area Upgrade project, your main activities will include:
• Modelling and designing complex and highly specialised beam vacuum system.
• Carrying out conceptual design phase work, leading the development work needed to validate concepts up to the drafting of the conceptual design specifications and reports.
• Manufacturing, installing, and measuring complex and highly specialised beam vacuum system.
• Defining the required manufacturing methods, seeking new construction techniques and ways of using new materials/components.
• Testing and commissioning complex and highly specialised beam vacuum system.
• Designing test benches and infrastructure required for commissioning.
• Defining test procedures and plans (acceptance tests, QA, QC, acceptance criteria);
• Defining maintenance plans (repairs and modifications) and spare parts policies.

About us
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.
