Systems and Digital ASIC Engineer (EP-ESE-ME-2026-160-GRAP)

Join CERN's IC Technology R&D team and contribute to the development of advanced electronics for future particle detectors. We are seeking an engineer with expertise in system-level modelling and digital ASIC design to work at the interface between architecture-level simulation and hardware implementation. In this role, you will help develop and validate innovative electronic systems, bridging high-level design exploration with hands-on digital hardware development.

- Develop and use simulation models to study and optimise electronic systems for future particle detectors. - Contribute to the design and implementation of digital integrated circuits based on system-level specifications. - Support the verification and validation of electronic designs through simulation and testing. - Collaborate with engineers, physicists and software developers on the development of advanced detector electronics. - Help improve the performance, efficiency and reliability of electronic systems. - Document designs, results and technical developments, and share knowledge within the team. - This role includes team supervision responsibilities.  

- Knowledge of digital electronics and digital design gained through academic, research or personal projects. - Familiarity with hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog. - Understanding of system-level modelling, simulation and verification techniques. - Interest in integrated circuit design and advanced electronics for scientific applications. - Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary and collaborative environments.

- Good programming skills in C++ and familiarity with Python. - Knowledge of digital design concepts and hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog. - Familiarity with simulation, modelling and software development tools. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail. - Ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams. - Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French. Eligibility criteria: - You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State . - You have a professional background in Electronics (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.
