Mechanical Engineer for Accelerator Equipment F/M

You will join, on a time limited (COD) position, an experienced team of engineers and technicians in charge of developing new mechanical equipment for the ESRF’s accelerator complex and experimental stations. As a member of the Mechanical Engineer Group in the Instrumentation Services and Development Division (ISDD), you will work in close collaboration with engineers experienced in mechanical engineering applied to scientific instruments.

Your main mission will be to contribute to the design of the equipment for the upgrade of the injection for the accelerator source. In this context, your activities and responsibilities will be as follows:

• Carry out feasibility studies and mechanical design studies using computer-assisted tools for components of the accelerator source (general layout, high stability supports, opto-mechanical devices, motorised mechanical systems, diagnostic and magnets, etc.) involving precision, stability, vacuum and cooling technologies
• Participate in engineering calculations
• Supervise the production of detailed mechanical drawings, and coordinate the procurement, manufacturing, test and installation phases
• Follow up the installation of major mechanical equipment, in close collaboration with ESRF services such as infrastructure, electronic, vacuum, alignment, mechanical assembly teams.
