Job Description
Your responsibilities
We are developing and constructing novel high-temperature superconductor (HTS) coils for next-generation high-field accelerator magnets and 'Superconducting Links'—up to 120 metres long—superconducting power transmission lines capable of transporting up to 100,000 A from power converters in an underground service gallery to the new magnets of the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC).
We are seeking motivated technicians to strengthen our team in the development and construction of these coils, devices, and systems. If you are an electrical technician interested in working within a dynamic team on the cabling, splicing, and testing of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables and coils, as well as the instrumentation and assembly of superconducting current leads and cryostats, this role might be for you. The position also involves the realisation of industrial data acquisition and control systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Testing of HTS tapes (REBCO tapes) at cryogenic temperatures
- Re-spooling HTS tapes and cabling HTS cables
- Splicing and testing HTS cables
- Winding, splicing, and testing HTS coils
- Integration of HTS cables into current leads
- Installation of instrumentation for current leads, cryostats, and HTS coils
- Performing electrical tests, including high-voltage assessments
- Developing, wiring, and testing industrial data acquisition and control systems

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. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on 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.
