The Engineering platform, with a permanent staff of five, brings together the electronics and mechanics departments. It contributes to instrumental development within a multidisciplinary scientific environment, particularly supporting experimental researchers and technical units such as electron microscopy, optical spectroscopy, growth, and ion implantation.
Missions:
– To be a technical partner of the scientific and technical community in CEMES.
– To advise and assist researchers in the analysis and expression of their needs.
– To translate the needs of scientists into appropriate technical solutions.
– To produce and/or modify the electronic and mechanical components of scientific equipment.
– To follow up on outsourced tasks if necessary.
– To participate in the communication of results.
