Join the Vacuum, Surfaces and Coatings group in the Technology Department and contribute to the Beam Screen Treatment (BST) project at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This project will apply a thin carbon coating in situ to the LHC's cryogenic beam pipes during the upcoming Long Shutdown, an essential step to unlock the accelerator's future performance.
After a short hands-on training, you will be directly involved in assembling and commissioning advanced coating systems. You will then take on a leading role in deploying the coating process in the LHC tunnel, working at the heart of one of the world's most complex scientific instruments.
Your responsibilities
-
Get trained and operate the coating systems for depositing carbon thin films in the LHC beam lines.
-
Be part and lead a team deploying the coating in the LHC tunnel.
-
Train the team members on the operation of the coating systems.
-
Produce the documentation for follow-up of the coating process for quality insurance.
-
Report to the engineer in charge for ensuring smooth coordination with the other teams.
-
Propose ways to improve existing coating systems, procedures, and methodologies.
-
Take part in the maintenance of the coating systems.
-
Work in a multi-cultural team of engineers and technicians.
-
This role includes team supervision responsibilities.
