Your responsibilities

As a Junior FPGA Developer, you will join the . Within this department, the team esponsible for in the linear accelerators (Linacs) and synchrotron accelerators located on the Meyrin site of CERN and of the high-power amplifiers and controls that are required for producing their electromagnetic fields.

Within the framework of replacing Radio Frequency tube-based drivers with solid-state amplifiers of the Proton Synchrotron (PS), the fast control circuits also need renovation through FPGA-based VME cards. A prototype hardware for this system has recently been developed.

In this position, you will:

• Participate in designing the final version of the interlock board;
• Oversee FPGA programming;
• Conduct corresponding testing to elevate amplifier controls to a new level of flexibility and versatility;
• FPGA programming for a fast Radio Frequency shut-off protection system and the new gap relay control system for the 10MHz system of the Proton Synchroton.

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

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.\\n \\n \\n \\n \\n \\n
