What you'll do

  • Define the need, specifications and functional pre-sizing of new test cells.
  • Select and integrate suitable sensors, solving sealing, temperature and pressure challenges.
  • Consult suppliers and subcontractors and monitor part manufacturing.
  • Assemble, instrument and test the equipment in the lab, interpret measurements and improve.
  • Improve ergonomics of existing equipment and transfer validated equipment to the test team.
  • Write technical documentation and contribute to intellectual property protection.
  • Start by making an existing cell reliable: simplify assembly and disassembly, then validate it at higher temperature.

What we're looking for

  • Mechanical design of equipment with 3D CAD (no specific software imposed).
  • Instrumentation, sensors and physical and physico-chemical measurement techniques: selecting and integrating, not manufacturing.
  • Hands-on attitude: enjoys assembling, disassembling and working directly on equipment.
  • Project management: planning, budget, suppliers.
  • Rigour, autonomy, proactive communication of difficulties.
  • Engineering degree (bac +5) in mechanics, physical engineering, instrumentation or physical measurements.
  • Around 5 years of experience in equipment design, design office or R&D; more junior profiles considered.

Nice to have

  • Technical English (written exchanges with foreign suppliers).
  • Drafting, notions of materials and thermal insulation.
  • Experience with pressure or temperature.
  • A background combining mechanics and physical measurements is particularly appreciated.

Benefits

Work in a human-sized company where every development counts, with equipment used directly for R&D projects for international clients.

Join a dynamic, multicultural team working on demanding technical topics for subsurface energies and the energy transition.

  • Profit-sharing (intéressement).
