. la défense et la sécurité
. l'énergie nucléaire (fission et fusion)
. la recherche technologique pour l'industrie
. la recherche fondamentale (sciences de la matière et sciences de la vie).

Avec ses 16000 salariés -techniciens, ingénieurs, chercheurs, et personnel en soutien à la recherche- le CEA participe à de nombreux projets de collaboration aux côtés de ses partenaires académiques et industriels.
A research engineer position is available on the ATTOLab and Nanolight platforms of LIDYL at CEA Paris-Saclay. The person, recruited on 3-year contract, will contribute to R&D programs aimed at increasing the performance of beamlines and end-stations to maintain them at the international state-of-the-art, and to guarantee and organize their operation. In particular, they will participate in the upgrade of the platforms, including the laser sources and XUV beamlines, in the instrumental developments on the experimental end-stations, in their testing/optimization and in making them available to the PEPR LUMA community through user campaigns. They will thus BE associated with the various missions of the group, from the design and implementation of new/upgraded equipment, to the dissemination of the results.

The main duties of the research engineer are as follows :
