Mer information

Within the framework of replacing Radio Frequency tube-based drivers with solid-state amplifiers of the Proton Synchrotron (PS), the fast control circuits also need renovation through FPGA-based VME cards. A prototype hardware for this system has recently been developed.

In this position, you will:

  • Participate in designing the final version of the interlock board;
  • Oversee FPGA programming; 
  • Conduct corresponding testing to elevate amplifier controls to a new level of flexibility and versatility;
  • FPGA programming for a fast Radio Frequency shut-off protection system and the new gap relay control system for the 10MHz system of the Proton Synchroton.

Skills and/or knowledge

  • Experience in FPGA programming:
  • Knowledge of VHDL;
  • Knowledge of C/C++.
  • You have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering (or a related field) by the application deadline.
  • Your highest educational qualification is either a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
