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 recovery (CDR) circuits, high speed cloc...
