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 home.cern.
Introduction
Are you interested in radiation detection and imaging and would you like to contribute to the development of the next generation of hybrid pixel detectors for use at CERN and elsewhere? The Experimental Physics Department at CERN is looking for an enthusiastic electronics technical engineer with knowledge of PCB design and microelectronics testing and packaging to support an international Collaboration developing detectors for medical imaging and other fields.
You will join the Electronic Systems for Experiments Group (ESE) of the Experimental Physics Department (EP), which designs electronic systems for the experiments at CERN and also supplies a series of electronics related services. The Microelectronics section (ME) designs, qualifies and tests radiation tolerant integrated circuits which are used throughout high energy physics experiments. The Medipix design team within the ME section designs CMOS ASICs for the next generation of hybrid pixel detectors to be used at CERN and elsewhere. The team also supports a large community of users.
Functions
As an Electronics Technical Engineer and after a period of intensive training you will be involved in organising logistical and technical support for the Collaboration members worldwide. This will involve wafer testing, assembly testing, keeping detailed inventories and general technical support. Moreover various groups within CERN are using Medipix/Timepix devices in different projects and applications. You will be the first line technical contact for these people.
You will:
Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in the field of electronics engineering or a related field.
Experience:
Experience in the following fields will be considered as an advantage:
Technical competencies:
Behavioural competencies:
Language skills:
English: spoken and written with the ability to draw up technical texts. The ability to understand and speak French in professional contexts would be an advantage.
Eligibility and closing date:
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. We welcome applications from all Member States and Associate Member States. (home.cern/about/member-states)
This vacancy will be filled as soon as possible, and applications should normally reach us no later than 10.02.2019.
