Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer (EP-ESE-ME-2026-107-GRAP)

Join the CERN Experimental Physics Department and help develop next-generation detector technologies for future High Energy Physics experiments. As part of the High Speed Links programme, you will contribute to radiation-tolerant optical communication systems that combine custom ASICs, silicon photonics, optical modules, and FPGA platforms to enable reliable high-speed data transmission in extreme environments. We are seeking an Analogue/Custom IC Design Engineer to design and validate advanced communication ASICs and high-speed CMOS circuits for particle physics detectors. The role involves taking cutting-edge technologies from prototype development through to full system demonstrators.

Your responsibilities

• Study and define architectures for analogue and mixed-signal circuits that enable high-speed communication systems using silicon photonics.
• Design and verify CMOS circuit blocks such as clock and data recove...
