The Department of Nuclear and Particle Physics (DPNC) at the University of Geneva is a dynamic department known for major contributions in various fields of particle physics. As part of the FASER group’s research, we are developing a new FASER-CAL detector prototype aimed at studying high-energy neutrinos at CERN. For this, we are looking for a Junior Electronics Engineer, ideally with 1–2 years of experience in VHDL design and FPGA system-on-chip (SoC) development.

* Work within a multidisciplinary R&D team alongside electronics, software, mechanical, and physics specialists.

* Define specifications, develop, simulate, test, and document VHDL and C/C++ firmware blocks for FPGA SoCs.

* Support researchers in commissioning the system.

* Contribute to scientific publications and potentially present at national and international conferences.

* Degree in electronic engineering.

* At least 1 year of relevant experience.

* Proficiency in VHDL, C, and C++.

* Experience with FPGA design, microcontrollers, SoC development, and simulation.

* Good knowledge of Linux (the SoC operating system).

* Familiarity with standard office software tools.

* Strong team integration skills within a multidisciplinary environment.

* Fluency in English (working language of the research group) or French, with the ability to learn the other quickly.

* Demonstrated initiative and autonomy.

* Position available immediately. 

* 1-year contract at 80%–100% workload.

* Location: University of Geneva.
