Materials Engineer

Your responsibilities

Our Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) Group, part of our Engineering Department (EN), is looking for a Materials Engineer to work on the Search for Hidden Particles experiment.

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment is a recently approved experiment aiming at searching for signatures of feebly interacting particles that could be at the origin of neutrino mass, dark matter and associated portal interactions. SHiP will be located on the CERN SPS accelerator at a new Beam Dump Facility (BDF). The long target will be made from a combination of blocks of refractory materials and will be optimised for maximum density with a minimum of space taken by internal cooling.

The project will deal with the development, characterization and assessment of refractory metal solutions for the Beam Dump Facility at CERN. You will be involved in the identification and specification of suitable materials and processes for the target, as well as with the development of state of the art test facilities and methodologies, including static and cyclic mechanical tests in a broad temperature range.
