Electronics Technician Job in , , Switzerland

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

Electronics Technician Job Description

Introduction

As an Electronics Technician, you will join the Electronic Systems for Experiments Group (ESE) of the Experimental Physics Department (EP) which designs electronic systems and ASICs for the experiments at CERN and also supplies a series of electronics related services. The Front-End section (FE) develops integrated-circuit packages and high density printed circuits for the readout and control of experiments at CERN.


Electronics Technician in the Experimental Physics Department (EP), Electronic Systems for Experiments Group (ESE), Front-end Section (FE).

As an Electronics Technician in the EP-ESE-FE Section, you will participate in the design, testing, production and procurement of high-density thin film hybrid circuits and integrated-circuit (IC) packages to be used in future high-energy physics experiments. In particular, your work will require:
 

• Participation in the design (schematic and layout), procurement and evaluation of high-density thin film hybrid circuits.
• Specification, design, procurement and evaluation of packaging for custom ICs developed by EP-ESE.
• Management of component procurement to equip thin film hybrid circuits and packages.
• Development of hardware and software for test systems (e.g. Labview).
• Testing of prototype designs and participation in large-scale production.
• Development of contacts and liaison with industry.
