We are looking for talented mechanical engineers or applied scientists to develop the detailed design and lead the construction and assembly of Vacuum Pumping and Cryogenic systems and their auxiliaries.

[Depending on the amount of professional experience and skills, candidates could qualify for a group leader position or other senior positions]

Our team is young, agile, international and based in the exciting city of Grenoble, by the French Alps.

Responsibilities

Individual responsibilities (candidates qualify if at least three out of six skills are fulfilled):

• Develop the detailed design of the vacuum pumping and cryogenics systems and their auxiliaries systems connected to the magnets and vacuum components.

• Define the system architecture and layout, perform system integration and check interfaces, develop flow charts and PIDs and required pumping or cryogenic cooling design criteria.

• Perform detailed analysis of pumping characteristics and efficiency and/or cryogenic cooling performance.

• Define technical solutions, pumping components, materials, welding techniques, sealing systems, instrumentation, required qualification work and fabrication/assembly techniques.

• Realize CAD designs and develop technical specification documents.

• Supervise the in-house or outsourced construction of vacuum pumping and cryogenic components, followed by their assembly.

Responsibilities as a team member

• Coordinate the interfaces with magnets, vessel and cryostats engineers, the electrical/electriconical engineers, and other responsible officers.

• Occasionally assist other groups (Fusion Engineering, HTS and/or Liquid Metals) if they have a peak in workload in the areas of design, modeling and vacuum applications. Equivalently, work with mechanical engineers from other groups, if vacuum/cryo group has a peak in design and modeling activities.

Qualifications -essential:

• Bachelor’s degree in electro-mechanical engineering or applied physics or related field.

• 3+ years of experience in vacuum/cryogenic systems and/or analysis and/or construction.

• 1+ years of experience in mechanical drawings/flow charts and preparation of technical specifications.

• Written and oral communication skills, ability to explain complicated concepts in a clear, concise manner.

• Ability and drive to engage with a team of scientists and engineers, understand complex descriptions and needs, and ability to translate them into technical requirements and “on time, on budget, on specs” designs.

• Organizational and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and will to learn.

• Ability to work independently as well as in a team.

Qualifications -desirable:

• MSc degree in mechanical engineering or applied physics or related field.

• 3+ years of experience with SolidWorks or other computational software.

• Previous experience in the vacuum or cryogenic industry or high-tech laboratories.

• Previous experience in design and analysis of vacuum or cryogenic systems.

• Previous experience in management or follow-up of manufacturing contracts and assembly activities, preferably for vacuum systems and/or cryogenic devices.

Indicative salary ranges

We offer various levels of salaries depending on the level of proven, relevant experience. Indicative salary ranges:

• Engineer with (0 – 10) years of relevant experience post - M.Sc: (44 – 62) k€

• Group Leader of (5 – 15) years of relevant experience post - M.Sc: (52 – 76) k€

Higher salaries may be offered to the most qualified candidates based on the level and amount of proven experience.
