Design Engineer Monolithic Pixel Sensors
vor 1 Woche
Job DescriptionJoin the microelectronics design team at CERN to develop and optimise advanced analog integrated circuits for next-generation monolithic pixel sensors. You will design, simulate, lay out, verify and test innovative circuits supporting high-precision, radiation-tolerant detectors such as ALICE 3. Working closely with sensor and electronics experts, you will contribute to prototypes, test structures and full detector developments, addressing stringent constraints in area, power, coupling and signal integrity. Your responsibilities: Develop and propose innovative analog circuit designs for monolithic CMOS sensors. These include, but are not limited to front ends, bias, data transmission, timing circuits. Carry out advanced analog simulations to evaluate circuit performance, including the effects of parasitic elements extracted from layout designs, evaluate signal coupling, signal and power integrity. Layout circuits and ensure they satisfy design rule and lvs checks. Compare simulation results with experimental data to refine the designs. Take part in the preparation and design of test setups and in the experimental verification of prototypes by guiding measurement campaigns or conducting measurements directly. Collaborate closely with colleagues in design, simulation, and testing teams to deliver robust solutions. Your profile: Experience with the Cadence chip design software, including simulation, layout and design rule verification software with at least one analog design submitted and tested. Experience with testing of analog integrated circuits or circuit blocks is a plus. Experience with mixed-mode design (analog-digital) is a plus. Skills: Insight in MOS transistor operation, including mismatch and noise, and their relation to analog circuits. Knowledge of analog chip design and layout, pre- and post-layout simulation, and drc and lvs verification. Knowledge of radiation effects is a plus. Good communication skills to interact within the design team and with the various measurement teams. Spoken and written English or French, with a commitment to learn the basics of the other language. Eligibility criteria: You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State . You have a professional background in electrical engineering (or a related field) and have either:a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience; or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience. You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before. Additional InformationJob closing date: at 23:59 CET . Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum. Working hours: 40 hours per week Job flexibility: Hybrid Target start date: 01-February-2026 This position involves: Work in Radiation Areas. Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization. Job reference: EP-ESE- -GRAP Field of work: Electrical or Electronics Engineering Benchmark job: - Electronics Engineer What we offer A monthly stipend ranging between 6287 and 6911 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax) . Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund .
