Job Description
About the team:
As an Embedded Systems Engineer you will join the Electronics for Protection (EP) Section of the Machine Protection and Electrical Integrity (MPE) Group within the Technology (TE) Department.
The MPE Group supports the operation of CERNs accelerator complex by developing maintaining and operating stateofthe art hardware and software technologies for magnet circuit protection and interlock systems for the present and future accelerators magnets test facilities and several CERN hosted experiments. The Electronics for Protection (EP) Section is responsible for the development commissioning and operation of quench detection electronics and data acquisition systems used for the protection of superconducting equipment in CERNs accelerator complex and test facilities.
About the project:
As part of the maintenance and upgrades of the LHC the group is developing a new quench detector for the magnets that are part of the infrastructure. While the project has already started further design of test methods firmware verifications and radiation testing is required. Additionally there is also a focus on improving the existing test framework (firmware/gateware and hardware).
Your responsibilities
- Design a radiation test setup and conduct radiation testing of a quench detector prototype at CERNs CHARM facility.
- Enhance and optimize the CI pipeline for FPGA gateware ensuring highquality and efficient development.
- Develop and improve hardwareintheloop verification systems for FPGA gateware.
- Design and implement a production and qualification tester for the nextgeneration LHC baselayer quench detector.
- Provide operational support for the quench detection system in CERNs IT STRING facility.
Your profile
Skills
- Experience with VHDL and Python
- Experience with hardware testing debugging and validation
- Knowledge of electronics measurement techniques and signal processing
- Familiarity with FPGA development workflows and verification
- Familiarity with CI/CD automation
- Spoken and written English with a commitment to learn the basics of French
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds largest and most complex scientific instruments they study the basic constituents of matter fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on .
