Polymers and Composites Technician (TE-MSC-SMT-2026-87-LD)

Job description

Company Description At CERN , the European Organisation 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. Job Description: Introduction: As a Polymers and Composites Technician, you will become part of the Polymer Laboratory within the Superconducting Magnet Technology (SMT) Section, contributing directly to the development of cutting-edge systems and components at the heart of CERN accelerator complex. In this hands-on role, you will be involved in the manufacturing of superconducting coils and other critical components, applying advanced composite techniques such as vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), bonding, and prepreg processing. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to the development and optimisation of innovative materials and fabrication methods, pushing the boundaries of perform...
