ABOUT US

At CERN, the European Organization 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. Find out more on http://home.cern.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN’s mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success

Are you knowledgeable in mechanical design and construction? Do you want to contribute to a unique and challenging research infrastructure? Then your Origin starts here. Deepen your knowledge and expertise faster than anywhere else on earth. Take Part!
CERN’s Process Engineering and General Safety Services section of the Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE) Unit is looking for a Mechanical Safety Engineer to join the team working on the Einstein Telescope project. You will contribute to the mechanical safety of a new underground research infrastructure. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary and diverse team of engineers, physicists and technicians.
About Einstein Telescope:
The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a proposed underground facility for a third-generation gravitational-wave observatory. Building on the success of Advanced Virgo and Advanced LIGO, which detected merging black holes and neutron stars, ET will have a much higher sensitivity. This will be achieved with 10km interferometer arms (up from Virgo’s 3km), a depth of 150-300 meters underground, and new technologies like cryogenic cooling of optics around 15K, quantum techniques to reduce light fluctuations, and advanced noise-reduction systems. ET will enable exploration of the Universe’s gravitational waves back to the cosmological dark ages, offering insights into fundamental physics and cosmology.
