Mechanical engineer

We are looking for talented mechanical engineer to design and simulate new products, parts, equipment, or mechanical machines within the Liquid Metal Department - and supervise their manufacturing to support the long-term project of construction and integration of the stellarator. 

Your main responsibilities will be:

*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

 

Requirements

Please do not hesitate to apply even if you don't meet all our requirements. Superheroes do not exist - but people with passion and talent do!

*Education and professional experience

• 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

*Languages

• Fluent in English (C1)
• Knowledge (B1 or higher) of French is a plus

*Technical skills

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