Genf, Genf, Schweiz CERN Vollzeit

Job Description

Your Responsibilities

As an electronics engineer, you will join the EP-ADE section and work on developing and testing FPGA firmware for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter trigger processor. This system processes data from over 30,000 calorimeter channels at 40 MHz routed via ~5,000 optical fibers from the experiment cavern to the ATLAS computing room. The 'intelligence' of the system uses 120 large high-end FPGAs.

In this position, you will:

  • Design low-latency digital circuits using VHDL and High-Level Synthesis (HLS) abstractions targeting programmable logic devices.
  • Simulate and debug digital circuits using functional simulation tools, find code errors, and propose appropriate solutions.
  • Conceive new architectures and compare different implementation options to meet specification requirements.
  • Presentation of your work in external and internal conferences and contribution to documentation.
  • Performance measurement using digital oscilloscopes and embedded logic analyzers.
  • Development of low-level software required for system testing and operation.
  • Support of the development of Continuous Integration (CI) routines for running automated firmware bitstream generation, simulation, and hardware tests.

Your Profile

Skills

Required

  • Experience in electronics design and development.
  • Experience with VHDL and HLS.
  • Experience with digital circuit simulation.
  • Knowledge of Python and C++ programming language.

Additional useful skills

  • Digital circuits, using CAD tools (e.g. Siemens Catapult HLS and Intel Quartus Prime).
  • Design and implementation of FPGA based electronics using the Intel toolchain or equivalent.
  • Digital circuit simulation using Siemens Questa Advanced Simulator and SCVerify or equivalent.
  • Code versioning systems (e.g. GIT).
  • Continuous integration (e.g. GITLAB).
  • Commission/operation of electronic systems.
  • Fluent in English.
