Software developer for L0 Global Trigger

Vor 4 Tagen


Geneva, Schweiz CERN Vollzeit

Your responsibilities

The Global Event Processor (GEP) is part of the ATLAS Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) ATLAS plans to deploy a hard real-time data filtering and processing system that uses fine granularity full event information to construct high resolution pattern recognition algorithms. These algorithms will be implemented on state-of-the-art field programmable gate array (FPGA) systems which employ novel system-on-chip architectures capable of high-speed machine learning inference. This position is part of the Next Generation Trigger program (https://cern.ch/nextgen-proposal).

The selected candidate will be part of the CERN Data Processing team. They will take an active role in developing algorithms and infrastructure for delivering FPGA-based pipelines that enable calorimeter-based, muon spectrometer-based, and global event reconstruction algorithms utilizing all of the available information on the GEP system.

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.

We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.
