Your responsibilities

We are seeking a motivated and skilled Electronic or Automation Engineer to join our team, dedicated to the development and optimization of innovative software and hardware solutions applied to the controls and safety systems in critical domains of the experimental areas. In this role, you will contribute to the control, protection, and operation of the magnets of the LHC Experiments: ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb, as well as other critical magnets under our responsibility. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in analog electronics circuit design and a solid understanding of low-voltage electrical power distribution systems, with familiarity in PLC and LabVIEW programming considered a valuable asset. You should also have excellent problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

As a key member of the team, you will:

  • Design, implement, and test components for the Magnet Safety and Control Systems, ensuring their readiness for the upcoming LS3 Technical Stop upgrade.
  • Collaborate closely with physicists, engineers, and technicians to understand and address project requirements for the Magnet Control and Safety System upgrade.
  • Participate in the design and testing of advanced electronic interfaces embedded within these systems.
  • Lead testing, installation, and calibration of electronic components for the superconducting magnets used in the ATLAS and CMS experiments.
  • Document designs and processes: Produce comprehensive documentation of electronic designs, implementation details, and user instructions to facilitate effective knowledge sharing within the team and with LHC magnet groups.
  • Support operations: Participate in 24/7 magnet stand-by duty ("piquet"), ensuring the reliable and safe operation of these critical systems.

Your profile

  • Knowledge of analog circuit design, with experience in the Altium environment.
  • Knowledge in electrical power distribution design, preferably with EPLAN software.
  • Familiarity with PLC and LabView programming.
  • Problem-solving skills and a passion for tackling complex technical challenges in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to effectively convey technical concepts and solutions to diverse audiences.
  • Fluent in English; the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
  • By the application deadline, you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Electronic or Electrical engineering (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
  • You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
  • Applicants without a university degree are not eligible.
  • Applicants with a PhD are not eligible.

Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.

This position involves:

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

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 http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
