## Job Description
**Your responsibilities**
Our Engineering Department (EN) is looking for a Mechanical Engineer or a related field, to join our Accelerators, Coordination, and Engineering Group, within the Configuration and Layouts Section. You will work as a Configuration & 3D Integration Manager for the Einstein Telescope project.
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.
Responsibilities will include:
* Definition of naming convention for equipment types, engineering drawings, physical equipment and layout components; registration and maintenance of codes in our Naming Portal for design offices and integration team, as needed.
* Definition and creation of conceptual beamlines regions, functional positions of optics and mechanical equipment in our Layout Database.
* Management of the Hardware Baseline structure (Product Breakdown Structure) and associated technical documentation in our Engineering Data Management Service (EDMS); implementation of change control processes; maintenance and updating of data and records to ensure accurate versioning.
* Support the 3D spatial integration of diverse components and subsystems within the ET framework, fostering synergy and coherence across all project stakeholders, by sharing its integration methodologies and training on the job designer; this task will be mainly on the technical infrastructure premises, being underground or surface buildings; this activity will be co-supervised by experts in the areas of Configuration Management and Integration.
**Your profile**
Skills:
* Experience with 3D CAD software, such as CATIAv5;
* Working with Microsoft Office tools or similar;
* Configuration management practices;
* Communication skills;
* Training will be provided for skills not yet acquired;
* Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language.
Eligibility criteria:
* You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
* You have a professional background in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or a related field) and have either:
* a **Master's degree with 2 to 6 years** of post-graduation professional experience;
* or a **PhD with no more than 3 years** of post-graduation professional experience.
* You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
