Geneva, Switzerland What you'll do
You will join the CMS experiment Engineering & Integration team to work on the upgrade of the detector for High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Your activity will be focused on the construction and commissioning of the new detector environmental monitoring system and the engineering and integration of the Machine Detector Interface, for what concerns the integration of the HL-LHC accelerator elements in the detector forward region.
Your responsibilities
- Participate in the design, construction, and installation of new detectors and their infrastructure
- Contribute to the integration and commissioning of detectors
- Work within the technical coordination team on the CMS experiment upgrades for the high-luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC)
- Contribute to the tasks of the CMS Engineering & Integration Office, by participating in concurrent multidisciplinary projects.
- Take a leading role in the integration, construction, and commissioning of the CMS environmental monitoring system .
- Take the lead in the integration of the different elements of the accelerator in the forward region of the detector (beampipe vacuum pumping system, radiation shielding, etc.)
- Write up technical specifications for the procurement of goods for the upgrade of the CMS detector.
- Present your work to the CMS Collaboration via technical reports and talks at relevant conferences and workshops.
