If a potentially good or excellent match, we will contact you within 3 weeks from applying.

We are looking for talented mechanical engineers to design, simulate new products, parts, equipment or mechanical machines and supervise their manufacture to support the construction & integration of the stellarator. According to your background and skills, you will be assigned to one of the following teams: Magnet-Vacuum-Cryogenics; HTS (superconductor), Liquid Metals, Heat- Diagnostics-Balance-of plant, where you will work on very exciting projects !

Responsibilities

Mechanical design

• Define and size mechanical solutions to meet the required specifications of custom-made parts for the on-site construction of first-of-a-kind machines /prototypes taking into account manufacturing constraints, operating environment (such as vacuum, temperature)

• Conceive innovative designs and realize their detailed 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) models.

• Coordinate with her/his team members to integrate the input and output data of each project: integrate and interface the different parts of the design as required (mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, nuclear, material and/or vacuum perspective)

• Generate computer models suitable for simulation, fast prototyping and other R&D and commercial purposes; integrate feedback from simulations and tests to iteratively optimize designs

• Perform stack-up analyses (fits, misalignments)

• Create and update the definition data: bill of materials, drawings of parts and assemblies, technical notes

FEA modeling

• Carry out multi-physics numerical simulations of supplied 3D CAD models (Structural Mechanics, CFD, Heat Transfer, etc...)

• Update and maintain simulation results, in coordination with the update and maintenance of design files

• Integrate and interface the different parts of the design as required (mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, nuclear, material and/or vacuum perspective)

Manufacturing

• Participate when needed  in the search for suppliers of components and/or manufacturing companies and collaborate with them on technical aspects

• Supervise and/or participate in the in-house or outsourced construction of parts, equipment or mechanical machine
  

Qualifications -essential:

• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree + equivalent experience in mechanical engineering or related field

• Experience in machine design and/or FEM simulations of complex systems and in manufacturing

• CAD design software such as SolidWorks, Inventor…

• ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics or other finite element software

• Knowledge of numerical modelling of scientific or industrial relevance

• Understanding of the mathematical basis of FEM modelling

• Fluent in English (C2)

Qualifications -desirable:

• Coding in Python, Matlab or other programming language, as well as knowledge in machining techniques

• Knowledge (B1 or higher) of French
