- Temps-plein
- Develop high-speed low-power communication ASICs for HEP experiments. This includes: multi-GHz low-jitter phase lock loops and clock and data recovery circuits, high-speed serializers and deserializers, delay locked loops, control state machines, line receivers and trans-impedance amplifiers;
- Participate in test system development as well as ASIC characterization and radiation qualification;
- Use state-of-the-art design and collaboration tools and methodologies.
- Experience in the design of digital communication ASICs in CMOS technologies, including applications in optoelectronic systems;
- Experience in the use of design methodologies for the mitigation of radiation effects (SEE and TID) in digital CMOS circuits;
- Experience in the development of synthesizable Verilog RTL code, design implementation (RTL to GDS), physical and functional verification of mixed-signal ASICs;
- Experience with the use of CAD tools for mixed-mode microelectronics design: analog simulation, layout, parasitics extraction, mixed-mode simulation, and cell characterization;
- Experience in microelectronics testing: pCB design, FPGA development, local communication interfaces, laboratory equipment, automated testing.
- Experience in the use of low-power design techniques in modern CMOS processes (28 nm and below);
- Experience with electromagnetic simulations (ASIC and/or PCB level);
- Experience with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) aspects and ASIC packaging technologies;
- Experience with modern programming (e.g. python) and scripting languages commonly used in EDA tools (e.g. tcl, skill);
- Experience with industry-standard version management tools (e.g. git, sos) and quality assurance methodologies (e.g. continuous integration).
- Initial experience in supervising others (students etc.) and coordinating activities in a distributed collaboration.
- Design and simulation of digital microelectronic circuits.
- Generation, processing, distribution and recovery of clock and timing signals.
- Knowledge and application of high-level description languages and tools.
- Knowledge of radiation effects on electronics and mitigation techniques.
- Testing and measurement of digital microelectronic circuits.
- Working in teams: understanding when teamwork is required to achieve the best results; including others accordingly and sharing information.
- Achieving results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind.
- Demonstrating flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements.
- Communicating effectively: checking to ensure that the message has been well understood; ensuring that information, procedures and decisions are appropriately documented.
- Learning and sharing knowledge: keeping up-to-date with developments in own field of expertise and readily absorbing new information; sharing knowledge and expertise freely and willingly with others; coaching others to ensure knowledge transfer.
- English: spoken and written with the ability to draw up technical texts (C1);
- The ability to understand and speak French in professional contexts would be an advantage.
- Work in Radiation Areas.
