Arbetsbeskrivning

Company Description 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. Job Description Introduction: Are you ready to work hands-on with advanced electrical and electronic systems at the forefront of science and technology? CERN's Electrical Power Converter Group is recruiting three electronics/electrical technicians to contribute to major modernisation, consolidation and infrastructure projects linked to CERN's accelerator complex.
