Are you a passionate engineer with particular experience in designing and testing electronic systems? Join an exciting cross-section project and contribute to the upgrade of the Outer Tracker detector. Take Part

Introduction

Electronics Engineer in the Experimental Physics Department (EP), Electronic Systems to Experiments Group (ESE), Microelectronics Section (ME).

You will join the Electronic Systems for Experiments Group (ESE) of the Experimental Physics Department (EP), which designs electronic systems, including ASICs, for the experiments at CERN and also supplies a series of electronics related services. The Microelectronics section (ME) develops analogue and digital integrated circuits for the readout and control of CERN's experiments. One of the supported experiments is CMS and in particular the Outer Tracker detector, where the CERN team has the responsibility of developing the readout electronics of the Pixel Strip modules for the detector upgrades for the High Luminosity LHC operation.

Functions

As an Electronics engineer in the Microelectronics section of the ESE group, you will work on developing Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for the Pixel Strip sensors readout for the CMS outer tracker detector upgrades for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). In particular, your work will require:

.The development of a pixel sensor readout ASIC for the Pixel-Strip modules (PS-modules) of the CMS Outer Tracker detector; namely the MPA ASIC.

.The implementation on silicon of the MPA ASIC using a 65nm CMOS technology using a digital-on-top design methodology.

.Study the radiation effects of the selected technology and employ radiation tolerant design techniques to mitigate the performance degradation effects due to radiation up to the levels required for operation of the Outer Tracker at HL-LHC.

.Employ low power digital design techniques and make system architectural choices to meet the strict requirements in power consumption.

.Work with the physicist teams to deduce comprehensive ASIC design specifications and perform verifications using physics simulation events through out the various design phases.

.Collaboration with the other team members working on the analog front-end circuitry and other design IP-blocks.

.Use of advanced EDA tools in microelectronic design for digital and mixed-signal simulations, design implementation (Place & Route design flow), functional verifications, physical verifications, etc.

.Silicon prototyping submissions.

.Preparation of test benches for the prototypes to perform functional tests and performance characterizations in tests beams as well as radiation tolerance evaluations for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Upset (SEU) effects.

.Work with the system level design team to assure compatibility of the MPA ASIC at the system level.

Qualification required

Master's degree in the field of Electronics engineering with specialization in microelectronics design, or equivalent.

Experience and competencies

The experience required for this post is:

.Demonstrated experience in the fields of design and development of microelectronics circuits.

.Experience on modern CMOS process and in particular on low power, high speed ASIC design.

.Extensive experience with the use of EDA tools for mixed mode microelectronics design: analog simulation, compact layout, extraction and re-simulation, HDL simulation and synthesis for digital circuitry.

.Deep knowledge of modern back-end tools as well as Verilog RTL programming.

Experience on the following fields will also be valued:

.Experience on the design of a
