Your responsibilities
Are you a passionate firmware and software engineer with a keen interest in trigger systems? Or an applied physicist with great firmware and software skills? Do you enjoy working with the latest technologies? Then come join us in the EP-CMD group where we are developing the new Global Trigger for the upgrade of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, one of the major detectors at the LHC. Based on high-precision trigger objects found by upstream systems, this FPGA-based system will evaluate a menu of up to 1000 trigger algorithms to select collisions that contain interesting physics processes for further analysis.
As a member of an international team, you will play a leading role in delivering the new Global Trigger system. You will:

What we offer
About us
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 http://home.cern.
We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.
Begin your CERN Quest. Take Part!
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.
