Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.

Supported by 22 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity.

Duties and responsibilities

You will join a team of 6 persons in charge of the mechanical assembly of high precision instruments and the supply of machined mechanical parts. You will take in charge the mechanical assembly of your assigned projects, together with the launching and follow up of subcontracted machining works.

  • Processing of small subcontracted machining projects

These tasks include the analysis of 2D and 3D drawings, requiring excellent knowledge of manufacturing processes from cost evaluation of parts, through manufacturing follow-up to quality control of delivered parts. The assembly activities are performed within an experienced team in a dedicated lab equipped with cutting-edge technologies and partly in clean-room environment.

Benefits and remuneration
