Mechanical Engineer

Your responsibilities

The candidate will join the mechanical engineering team within the Physics department (EP-DI). They will be responsible for mechanical compliance assessments and structural design in the context of the Neutrino Platform activities at CERN and the LBNF/DUNE project (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) in the US.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in demonstrating the compliance of LBNF/DUNE detectors and infrastructures with European and US regulations during the design, execution, and installation phases of the project.
• Assess designs and quality control plans proposed by various detector consortia.
• Create finite element models and perform finite element analyses (static and dynamic) to demonstrate compliance, if required.
• Contribute to the DUNE detectors prototyping phases at CERN, particularly by designing and assessing the main structures needed to validate the feasibility of the DUNE vertical drift detector installation.
