**Mechanical Technician - Fabrication**

Context
The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is an international research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. It is Europe's leading centre for neutron research and operates a nuclear reactor (HRF), providing the brightest neutron source in the world.
ILL plays a central role in the design and fabrication of high-precision neutron detectors. The institute is also involved in major European projects, notably the ESS (European Spallation Source) in Sweden, one of the most ambitious scientific undertakings currently underway.
As part of this effort, we are recruiting a mechanical technician to join the ILL Detector Service team and contribute to the fabrication of a Multitube-type detector intended for the CSPEC instrument at ESS. This detector consists of 12 modules, each containing 32 proportional tubes measuring 3.5 meters in length.

Your tasks
Within the assembly workshop, you will take part in the various stages of the detector fabrication, working closely with the service’s engineers and technicians.
- Preparation and quality control of components:_
- Reception, cleaning, and verification of mechanical and electronic parts
- Dimensional inspection using metrology tools
- Electrical testing of printed circuit boards and high-voltage feedthroughs
- Mechanical strength testing under pneumatic pressure
- Assembly of detector modules:_
- Preparation of parts and assembly tools in a clean environment
- Installation of anode wires (25 microns) in each tube, with calibrated weight and precise crimping
- Rigorous assembly of mechanical and electronic components
- Final control and validation:_
- Leak testing of modules
- Vacuum oven bakeout at controlled temperature
- Filling with detection gas and preparation for the final qualification phase

**Profile**:

- Education:_
- Two
- or three-year technical degree in mechanical engineering, microtechnology, electrical engineering, or equivalent
- Technical skills:_
- Precision mechanical assembly
- Use of metrology tools
- Electronic board assembly
- Technical drawing reading
- Basic electrical testing with a multimeter
- Personal qualities:_
- Rigour and attention to detail
- Interest in meticulous work
- Ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative team
