Jobbeschreibung

Machine Learning Developer for the CMS Level-1 Trigger

Datum: 4 februari, 2026 Tid: 11:59

Placering: CERN

Mer information

Join us to push the boundaries of real-time Machine Learning (ML) in one of the most demanding computing environments in the world. You will develop cutting‑edge ML models for the CMS Level‑1 Trigger – an ultra‑low‑latency, FPGA‑based system responsible for selecting the most interesting LHC collisions in real‑time. You will help design the next generation of trigger algorithms for the High Luminosity LHC era by co‑training ML models across different systems to maximise physics performance while optimising information flow, bandwidth, and on‑device resource usage. This includes developing and scaling MLOps workflows, integrating ML models into FPGAs, and delivering demonstrators that validate full‑chain performance from training and physics performance to on‑hardware deployment. This position is part of the NextGen Triggers (NGT) project, a 5‑year collaboration between LHC experiments and the CERN Research and Computing Departments.

Be sure to meet the eligibility criteria

• By the application deadline, you have a master’s degree with 2 to 6 years of professional experience since graduation or a PhD with a maximum of 3 years of professional experience since graduation. You are not eligible with only a bachelor’s degree.
• You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
• Please pay attention to the additional criteria and requirements for this specific position and mentioned above.
