Are you passionate about radio-frequency electronics design and development? Are you skilled in high frequency design? Are you motivated to improve the performances of the RF systems of the CERN accelerators? If you are eager to acquire new skills and willing to take an active part in a team of professionals facing design challenges, this is an opportunity for you. Take part!

Radiofrequency (RF) Engineer in the Beams department (BE), Radiofrequency group (RF), Feedbacks and Beam Control section (FB).

You will join the Radiofrequency group, part of the Beams department, responsible for the RF Acceleration and Transverse Damping Systems for CERN accelerators. Our team operates the RF systems of existing accelerators and participates to the design of future accelerators and upgrades to existing machines.

Functions

As a Radiofrequency Engineer in the RF Feedbacks and Beam Control section (FB) you will design and operate RF and synchronisation as well as feedback electronics up to the GHz frequency range for the acceleration and control of the proton and ion beams in the CERN accelerator complex.

Initially you will contribute to the synchronisation of three beams, a proton beam, electron beam and a LASER pulse interfacing CERN's Advanced proton driven Plasma Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE), with the accelerator complex and the design of the associated low-level RF (LLRF) system. This includes RF frequencies in the 100 to 6000 MHz range and requires precise amplitude and phase control of the signals. Functions will evolve to take on responsibility in different areas of the accelerator complex for the feedback and synchronisation systems required to stabilise and control the beams.

In particular, you will:

.Design mixed signals electronic modules containing RF signals and a digital processing part.

.Produce and manage specifications and the associated technical documentation.

As your knowledge of RF problematics at CERN grows you will participate in beam commissioning, operation, upgrade and maintenance of the beam control system of existing machines including the participation in an on call service and interventions during weekends, nights and public holidays.

After a period of familiarisation, you will:

.Follow-up the development of hardare by external industries and ensure collaborations with external research institutes.

.Participate in projects within the RF group and nuture realtionships with users across CERN's community.

Qualification required :

Master's degree in the field of Electronics Engineering with experience in high frequency design and techniques or PhD in Applied Physics with equivalent experience in radio frequency electronics design in the GHz frequency range, or equivalent.
