- Microcontroller embedded systems development (firmware in C, peripheral interfacing, bare-metal programming).
- Scripting and automation (Python or equivalent).
- Linux/Unix working environment.
- Curiosity and willingness to learn in a multidisciplinary environment.
Bewerbungsprozess
- Analyse application requirements across CERN's accelerator complex and particle physics detector systems to define technical specifications for the microcontroller ASIC.
- Contribute to the architecture, design, and validation of a radiation-tolerant microcontroller ASIC implemented in 65 nm or 28 nm CMOS technology.
- Support the definition of the SoC architecture, including the selection and configuration of an appropriate RISC-V processing core.
- Design, integrate, and validate peripheral IP blocks within the CERN SOCRATES framework.
- fault-tolerant design methodologies, including triple modular redundancy (TMR) and single-event upset (SEU) mitigation techniques.
- Participate in design verification activities and physical implementation, from RTL development through to tapeout.
- Contribute to post-silicon testing, characterisation, and validation following chip fabrication.
