Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer with expertise in digital and analog hardware design, FPGA development, and hands-on skills to bring prototypes to life. As a Hardware and FPGA Designer, you will help build critical systems for the HL-LHC (High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider) and future accelerator projects.
Main Duties
* Participate in the design evolution of hardware modules for DI/OT and SAMbuCa projects, including System Board and PXIe FMC Carrier, radiation-tolerant AC/DC power supply, Motion Front-End, and Motor Driver.
* Contribute to hardware designs for the new White Rabbit-based accelerator timing system.
* Follow up on prototypes and series productions.
* Carry out radiation and burn-in test campaigns to validate hardware modules.
* Support users in adopting and deploying hardware modules.
* Develop HDL designs for FPGAs and System-On-Chip (e.g., Xilinx MPSoC).
* Document and present work as appropriate.
Requirements
* Masters degree or PhD or equivalent relevant experience in Electronics Engineering or a related field.
* Demonstrated experience in schematics and layout design of complex analog-digital hardware modules, including FPGA, high-speed transceivers, and DDR memories using Altium or Kicad EDA tools.
* Simulating digital and analog electronic circuits.
* Power electronics.
* Diagnosing and resolving electronic circuit issues, with hands-on soldering experience.
* Development of FPGA designs targeting Xilinx MPSoC and Microchip Igloo2 families.
* Development of testbenches for FPGA designs.
Additional Assets
* Radiation effects on electronics.
* EMC testing and industrial norms.
* Development of synchronisation systems.
* Python scripting for automating tasks and hardware tests.
Technical Competencies
* Design and simulation of FPGA-based electronics.
* Design and simulation of digital and analog electronic circuits.
* Testing and measurement of digital and analog electronic circuits.
Behavioural Competencies
* Achieving Results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
* Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
* Learning and Sharing Knowledge: keeping up-to-date with developments in own field of expertise and readily absorbing new information.
* Solving Problems: identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them.
* Demonstrating Flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements.
