How often are new jobs added?

Every minute. We scan thousands of hiring sources in real-time so you see roles as soon as they go live, often hours before they appear on public job boards.Early access = higher odds of getting interviewed.

Why can I only view limited per day on the free plan?

Free access gives everyone a fair starting point. But seeing every job instantly creates an unfair advantage, so unlimited browsing is reserved for Pro users who want full access to fresh, hidden, and time-sensitive roles. Limiting free browsing also prevents automated scraping by competitors.

What sources do you pull jobs from?

We aggregate from: - company career pages - startup platforms - ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, etc.) - niche regional job boards - hidden talent networks not indexed by Google Over 50,000 sources → one unified feed.

Are these jobs legitimate?

Yes. We automatically remove: - expired listings - spam - shady postings - duplicates - fake "ghost jobs" Every job you see is active, real, and verified at the source.

What’s the benefit of upgrading to Pro?

Pro gives you an information advantage. You unlock: - unlimited job browsing - real-time alerts for your saved filters - early access to newly discovered roles - deeper filtering (salary, remote, visa, experience, etc.) - access to hidden sources most job seekers never find Pro users consistently apply earlier and get significantly higher interview rates.

Can I filter by location, experience, remote, or salary?

Yes and Pro unlocks the power filters job boards don’t show you, including: - roles posted in the last 24 hours - company ATS only - startup-only sources - remote-flex categories - international roles by timezone

Why are early alerts so important?

Most job applications pile up within the first 6–12 hours after posting. If you apply early, you skip the crowd and rank higher in recruiter screening. Our alerts give you that timing advantage.

If the employer provides it, yes. If not, we attempt to estimate using salary bands from public and private datasets (Pro only).

Is DayOneJobs suitable for senior roles too?

Yes. We cover all roles, from internships to senior-level. Filters simply let you tailor your feed to your level.

About the Role

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

As a Mechanical CAD Designer in the Superconducting Magnet Technology section, you will develop three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) models and detailed drawings for novel superconducting magnets and associated tooling. Working closely with engineers and other technical specialists, you will take part in research and development projects for future particle accelerators. Your work will help transform innovative magnet concepts into manufacturable prototypes and practical assembly solutions.

Functions

Prepare 3D CAD mechanical models and drawings of short magnet demonstrators, prototypes and associated tooling, in close collaboration with other colleagues in the section.
Update CAD models and drawings to integrate feedback from construction and assembly activities.
Contribute to technical discussions related to mechanical tolerances, machining methods and assembly procedures.
Support procurement of components and update CAD models and drawings to reflect as-built configurations.
Assist colleagues with tailored 3D models for computer numerical control (CNC) machining and simulations (electromagnetic, mechanical).

Qualifications

Higher technical diploma or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

Experience:

Proficiency in CATIA (or a similar modern 3D CAD software), including the production of detailed 2D manufacturing and assembly drawings, for mechanical components and assemblies.
Experience with a Product Lifecycle Management database (e.g. PLM, Enovia, SmarTeam) to manage models and drawings.
Knowledge of mechanical assemblies and ISO-GPS dimensioning and tolerancing.
Knowledge of superconducting magnet construction and technologies would be an asset.

Technical competencies:

Knowledge and application of manufacturing methods and work preparation.
Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment.
Production of 2D drawings and 3D models.
Knowledge and application of mechanical measurement techniques.

Behavioural competencies:

Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
Demonstrating Accountability: working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises.
Demonstrating Flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements.
Learning and Sharing Knowledge: sharing knowledge and expertise freely and willingly with others.

Language skills:

Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the other language.
