You will join the Converter Controls Electronics (CCE) section to contribute to the development of high-performance digital control systems. Our team designs the electronics that drive power converters: essential components that power the magnets across the accelerator complex, ensuring the success of the injector chain.

This position offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academic theory and high-reliability industrial engineering. You will transition from standard FPGA design to working on critical systems where precision and robustness are paramount. In this role, you will design VHDL for Xilinx Kintex-7 and Zynq UltraScale+ platforms and be encouraged to explore and implement advanced verification strategies. You will have the opportunity to research and apply “correct-by-construction” techniques and Formal Methods to help ensure that the control loops and interlocks driving our power converters operate safely and reliably.
