FPGA Firmware Programmer Job in , , Switzerland

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

FPGA Firmware Programmer Job Description

You will join the Beams Department (BE), responsible for the beam generation, acceleration, diagnostics, controls and performance optimization for all particle accelerators at CERN including the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) (https://beams.web.cern.ch/). You will work in the Beam Instrumentation Group (BI) and collaborate with many different specialists in the field of electronics, software, mechanics and physics to master the challenges of building, maintaining, testing and installing the electronic systems required to measure the parameters of accelerated particle beams.

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 the intensity, tune and position.

The job will involve:

• The design, upgrade and maintenance of digital acquisition electronics based on field programmable logic-based devices (FPGA);
• Manufacturing, test and installation of large scale digital electronic systems for beam intensity, position and tune measurements;
• Installation, test, commissioning and consolidation of these systems.

FPGA Firmware Programmer Job Requirements

Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of electronics engineering or a related field.

Experience:

• Demonstrated experience in the field of electronics engineering.

• Design and simulation of FPGA-based electronics.
• Design and simulation of digital electronic circuits.
• Testing and measurement of analog and digital electronic circuits.

• Knowledge of Python for the design of test benches.

• Work in Radiation Areas.
• Interventions in underground installations.
• A valid driving licence.
• Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
• Stand-by duty, when required by the needs of the Organization.
