Posting Description

MECHANICAL ENGINEER, Laboratory for Nuclear Science, to join our research group at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland to work on developing and integrating the Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) detector for the Phase II upgrade of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. The ETL is an innovative silicon detector that utilizes an evaporative CO₂ cooling system for thermal management. Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers at MIT and CERN to integrate the ETL mechanical structure into the CMS environment; contribute to the definition, design, and testing of the ETL internal cooling system and internal service distribution; work with collaborating institutes, CMS Integration Office, and Technical Coordination to define detailed detector assembly, testing, and installation plans; conceptualize, coordinate, and significantly contribute to large-scale detector construction projects and smaller supporting projects; provide technical direction for the development and integration of key project components; perform expert-level solid modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for mechanical systems; travel to meetings, vendor sites, and equipment installation locations as required (less than 10%).
