Job Description:
Introduction
Are you an FPGA Firmware Programmer who is passionate about conceiving, designing and testing electronics for accelerators at the high energy and high intensity frontier? Join CERN!
You will join the Accelerator Systems Department (SY), responsible for the beam-related technical systems of the CERN accelerators. The SY teams design, build and operate equipment systems in all CERN accelerators and are engaged in ambitious forward-looking R&D programmes.
The position will be in the Intensity and Tune monitoring Section (IQ) of the Beam Instrumentation Group. You will take part in designing, manufacturing and commissioning of large and complex beam monitoring systems for the charged particle beams that are operated daily in the CERN accelerator complex.
Functions
As an FPGA Firmware Programmer in the Intensity and Tune Measurement Section, your main task will be to develop and maintain the digital electronics and the firmware used for the control and acquisition of beam parameters such as intensity, tune, and position.
The job will involve:
* Designing, upgrading, testing and maintaining digital acquisition electronics based on field programmable logic devices (FPGA);
* Designing, manufacturing and installing digital electronics systems for beam intensity, tune and position measurements;
* Testing, commissioning, operating and consolidating these systems;
* Following up on operational issues, carrying out a continuous performance assessment and pro-actively working towards improving the section’s timing and beam instrumentation systems;
* Writing technical documentation and operational procedures.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in electronic engineering or a related field.
Experience:
* Demonstrated experience in digital electronics engineering and FPGA programming;
* Knowledge of programming languages for task automation, data analysis, and design of test benches (Python and C/C++) would be an advantage;
* Design and simulation of FPGA-based electronics;
* Design and simulation of digital electronic circuits;
* Testing and measurement of analog and digital electronic circuits;
* Achieving results: delivering high quality work on time and fulfilling expectations;
* Working in teams: collaborating effectively in groups and taking an active role in team activities;
* Demonstrating flexibility: willingness to work on different projects simultaneously;
* Solving problems: identifying, defining and addressing problems;
* Learning and sharing knowledge: freely sharing knowledge and coaching others;
* Spoken and written English: ability to draft technical specifications and present reports;
* Basic knowledge of French language or willingness to acquire it rapidly.
