Your responsibilities
Are you a passionate developer who loves to tackle challenging problems that help advance basic science? Do you enjoy working with modern technologies? Then come join us to develop new firmware and software for the real-time data processing system of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, one of the major detectors at the LHC.
At CMS, we face the task of processing collisions between proton bunches at up to 40 MHz, which would generate an immense data rate. Our level-1 (L1) trigger, employing custom firmware logic in hundreds of FPGAs, selects promising events in microseconds for further detailed analysis. We're currently upgrading this system for the future high-luminosity phase of the LHC.
One of our R&D activities is exploring the potential of a complementary system called L1 Data Scouting, which would analyze a data stream containing all events but with just the coarse grain L1 trigger information. Such a system involves FPGA-equipped data acquisition boards receiving data from the L1 trigger, performing real-time processing, and transferring it to a computer cluster for further analysis.
This R&D is in the broader context of the NextGen Triggers project, a 5-year collaboration between the LHC experiments and the CERN Research and Computing Departments to push forward the use and impact of innovative Artificial Intelligence technologies and high-performance computing architectures for the LHC experiments' trigger selection, data processing, and theoretical interpretation.

What we offer
About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
