Zusammenfassung

CERN in Geneva invites applications for a role in the SY-BI group within the Accelerator Systems Department. You will help develop next-generation beam-position monitoring systems for CERN’s injector complex, including the pre-accelerators and Antimatter Decelerator, and work on high-speed data-acquisition platforms.

This hands-on position sits at the crossroads of digital electronics, embedded systems, real-time signal processing, and accelerator physics, with a focus on FPGA/HDL development

Qualifikationen

• Master’s degree with 2–6 years of professional experience since graduation, or a PhD with ≤3 years post-graduation experience.
• Bachelor’s degree alone is not eligible.
• Citizenship: national of CERN Member State or Associate Member State; some national exclusions apply.

Aufgaben

• Develop next-generation beam-position monitoring systems for CERN’s injector complex, including the pre-accelerators and Antimatter Decelerator.
• Work on high-speed data-acquisition platforms combining fast digitisers with advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies.
• Engage at the intersection of digital electronics, embedded systems, real-time signal processing, and accelerator physics.
• Ideal for those with interest in FPGA or HDL development, high-speed electronics, embedded software, digital signal processing, instrumentation, or experimental physics.

Jobbeschreibung

The SY-BI group in CERN’s Accelerator Systems Department develops and operates the instruments used to observe particle beams and measure their key properties. These systems are essential to the reliable operation, optimisation, and future development of CERN’s accelerator complex.

You will contribute to the development of next-generation beam-position monitoring systems for CERN’s injector complex, including the pre-accelerators and Antimatter Decelerator. You will work on innovative high-speed data-acquisition platforms combining fast digitisers with advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies.

This role offers a hands-on opportunity to work at the intersection of digital electronics, embedded systems, real-time signal processing, and accelerator physics. It is particularly suited to people with an interest in FPGA or HDL development, high-speed electronics, embedded software, digital signal processing, instrumentation, or experimental physics.
