Offer Description
Your responsibilities
As a cleanroom technician, you will be part of the Superconducting Radio Frequency Cavities (SRF) section at CERN. The section is responsible for assembling, testing, qualifying, maintaining, and developing superconducting cavities for CERN's particle accelerator complex. Under supervision, you will participate in handling the cavities preparation for the cleanroom.
You will operate the ultra-pure water rinsing system and monitor the data acquisition. You will also provide assistance with the preparation of the cleanroom parts, assuring quality control, and contribute to the cleanroom-sensitive assembly of mechanical components.
Functions:
* Follow the procedure in place to perform complex mechanical assemblies in cleanroom.
* Qualification by Air Particle Counting of critical components according to ISO 14644.
* Perform ultra-pure water and high-pressure cleaning to ensure the anti-dust cleaning of superconductive cavities and related components.
* Assist the team during complex cryomodule assemblies.
* Produce reports on cleanroom work and follow the quality control of the conditioning related to mechanical components for Ultra High Vacuum and cleanroom purposes.
* Manage stock and consumable parts and participate in the regular maintenance of the facilities and equipment.
* Possible work with heavy loads using handling equipment and machines.
* Remain calm, meticulous, and focused over long periods during cleanroom tasks.
* Produce reports using standard office software.
* Conduct installation, assembly, disassembly, maintenance, and operation of mechanical equipment.
* Work effectively in a diverse team.
* Demonstrate accountability by working conscientiously and reliably, and delivering on promises.
* Work in a structured and organized manner.
Fluency in English is required; the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
* By the application deadline, you should have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Mechanical engineering (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification should be a general secondary education diploma.
* You should have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
* Applicants with a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree are not eligible.
Additional Information
Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.
Working hours: 40 hours per week
This position involves:
* Work in Radiation Areas.
* A valid driving licence.
* Use of certain mobile work equipment or equipment used for lifting loads (lifting equipment, bridge cranes, aerial work platforms, etc.) requiring a driving authorization.
Given the occupational health risks associated with this position, the selected candidate must obtain medical clearance before a contract offer is confirmed.

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. This process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more at http://home.cern.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
