Job description

Electronics Design Engineer for Particle Accelerators

Datum: 31 oktober, 2025 Tid: 11:59

Placering: CERN

Mer information

Join the Accelerator Systems Department (SY ) and become part of the Radio Frequency (RF ) Group, which is responsible for the acceleration and longitudinal control of particle beams in CERN's accelerator complex.

In this position, you will contribute to the renovation of the RF distribution systems for two experimental particle accelerators:CLEAR andAWAKE . The RF distribution systems are responsible for synchronizing all RF and time-critical subsystems across the accelerators and must deliver cutting‑edge phase noise performance, high stability, and high reliability.

You will work on frequency division and multiplication techniques to generate signals spanning a wide frequency range—from 10 MHz to 12 GHz. Achieving these goals requires high attention to detail and carefully considered electronics design techniques.

• You have a professional background in Electronic or radiofrequency engineering (or a related field) and have either:
  • aMaster's degree with 2 to 6 yearsof post‑graduation professional experience;
  • or aPhD with no more than 3 yearsof post‑graduation professional experience.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
