Artificial Intelligence Engineer in DAQ Systems

Job Description

Your responsibilities


Nowadays, the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems is experiencing a steady and rapid progress, with applications in diverse fields, from automotive to healthcare.

The usage of AI is not new in the High Energy Physics (HEP) field. For instance, neural networks and deep learning algorithms are commonly used in data analysis.

At the same time, the recent advancements in AI are creating new opportunities and opening the doors to new scenarios even in areas that have not seen any strong application of AI so far.

That is the case for Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems and operations of HEP experiments at large.


Several DAQ systems of the LHC experiments already implement some "intelligent service" to deal with error handling, anomaly detection and automation of well-defined actions and procedures.

Those services typically rely on rule-based expert systems (ES) and complex event processing (CEP) frameworks.

In general, ES and CEP-based systems are meant to work properly in a clear context, and they are not capable of easily "adapting" to mutating conditions.

Instead, novel AI technologies and solutions offer much more flexibility in that respect.

Additionally, AI-based technologies could be used to bring the automation of the experiment operations one step further, ensuring almost real-time analysis and decision-making capabilities.


The selected candidate will participate in a Research & Development program, whose goal is to introduce AI and machine learning models in the operations of a HEP experiment.

The candidate will directly contribute to increase the experiment efficiency and improve its accuracy via enhanced automation, predictive analysis and real-time monitoring, exploiting AI-powered systems and algorithms.

While DAQ systems may represent an initial target, the candidate will look for solutions flexible and generic enough to be extended to the full experiment, with the objective of going towards an autonomously running experiment.


In particular, the candidate will focus on the possibility of exploiting the power of generative AI to improve the interaction between users and the system, and on developing solutions to detect and predict system anomalies.

About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe.

Using the world's 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
