About us

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.

Your responsibilities

The Engineering (EN) Department's Information Management (IM) group is seeking a highly motivated full-stack software engineer with excellent technical skills and a genuine interest in learning new things.

You will join a young, international development team within the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) section, whose mission is to provide product data management capabilities, including design and CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data management, for the entire accelerator complex and its detectors.

We are currently engaged in a challenging project to introduce a new, modern PLM platform by simplifying the existing landscape of heterogeneous applications and enabling the Organization to advance towards engineering Digital Twins. In total, over 5,000 users depend on the software provided by the group.

In your role, you will:

  • Implement backend applications using Java or .NET.
  • Build web applications using modern technologies (React/Electron/TypeScript).
  • Integrate 3D model visualization technologies: web and native viewers, virtual/augmented reality.
  • Perform code reviews, testing, delivery, and support of the software.
  • Carry out data analysis and data migrations.
  • Contribute to a project delivering engineering Digital Twins of CERN installations.

Your profile

Skills:

  • Backend development using Java or .NET
  • Frontend development using React or Angular
  • Experience with SQL databases

  • By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Information Technology (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
  • Applicants without University degree are not eligible.
  • Applicants with a PhD are not eligible.

This position involves:

  • Participation in a regular stand-by duty, including nights, Sundays and official holidays.

What we offer

  • A monthly stipend ranging between 5,196 and 5,716 Swiss Francs (net of tax).
  • Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.
  • Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract.
  • 30 days of paid leave per year.
  • On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.
