Overview Open Position Mechanical Engineer – Position in IFAE Opening Date : January 13, **** Closing Date : Until Filled Ref:*******_TD_Mechanical Engineer About IFAE The Institut de Física d\'Altes Energies (IFAE) is a public consortium of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia, and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, a public university) whose main objective is to carry out research and to contribute to the research in High Energy Physics, Neutrinos, Observational Cosmology, Gamma Rays, Gravitational waves from a theoretical, experimental and technological point of view. It also makes developments in Medical Physics applications and Quantum Computing technologies. IFAE has the status of a \"University Institute\" attached to the UAB and its premises are within the campus of the University. About IFAE\'s Technical Division The Technical Division of IFAE is constituted by a multidisciplinary team with the mission to make the scientist\'s projects a reality. We oversee the design and development of the mechanics, electronics, and software for the instrumentation required for each project. We are involved in the ATLAS project at the LHC at CERN, the T2K neutrino experiment in Japan, the MAGIC and the CTA - LST telescopes in La Palma, the Dark Energy Survey project in Chile, the ESA Euclid satellite, the VIRGO and Einstein Telescope Gravitational Waves experiments, the ARRAKIHS ESA mission, among others. We also work at the cutting edge of detector technology developing pixel detectors for High Energy Physics, telescope cameras, R&D in cutting-edge Infrared detector technologies, and detectors for medical imaging and other scientific and industrial fields. Role You will participate in the design of instrumentation at IFAE interfacing with the other groups inside the technical division and communicating with the IFAE scientist to understand the needs and perform the mechanical design of the experiments. That will give you opportunity to gain engineering experience, learning first-hand about exotic materials, cryogenics, vacuum, manufacturing techniques, etc. Key Responsibilities Design mechanical pieces and Systems needed for the R&D projects at IFAE (includes instrumentation, detectors, satellite System, telescope Systems, ....) Lead complex projects at IFAE in collaboration with other departments (electronics, software, ...)
