To thrive with us in the Detector Group, you need to be passionate, driven, responsive and good at spotting both problems and opportunities. We need a talented, creative mechanical design engineer who enjoys working at the cutting-edge interface of science and engineering.

First and foremost, we need someone who is suitably qualified and experienced. Ideally, you will have appropriate technical qualifications, which means a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering or a similar field. Our ideal candidate will bring significant experience of both 2D and 3D modelling, tolerance and strength analysis, ISO GPS methodology and will be very familiar with CATIA 3D experience. Additional knowledge of FEA packages such as ANSYS or Abaqus would be a unique advantage.

We are building ESS from the ground up, so we need someone who is comfortable not only following procedures, but also creating them. We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who likes to collaborate with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who can work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way.

The working language of ESS is English but it's always a benefit if you know a little Swedish as well. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible.

Aside from the chance to work at truly unique big science project, you can also expect:

An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science.
A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe.
A challenging, innovative and stimulating work environment.
