Power distribution ASICs design engineer (EP-ESE-ME-2021-84-LD)

Introduction

Are you an ASIC design engineer with consolidated experience in the development of high-reliability and radiation-tolerant power distribution circuits? We are seeking to consolidate our team dedicated to develop and bring to production readiness DCDC converters and linear regulators for the distribution of power in electronic systems for the most advanced scientific experiments in particle physics. Join our team and help us extend our portfolio of Point-Of-Load and Intermediate-Bus converters capable of reliably functioning in extreme radiation and magnetic field environments. Take part in this challenge at CERN!

You will join the Electronic Systems for Experiments Group (ESE) of the Experimental Physics Department (EP), which designs electronic systems, including ASICs, for the experiments at CERN and also supplies a series of electronics related services. The Microelectronics section (ME) develops analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the readout and control of the CERN experiments.

Functions

As a power distribution ASICs design engineer in the Microelectronics section of the ESE group, you will:

• Participate in all phases of the full-custom design of linear regulators and DCDC converters capable of reliable functionality in the radiation and magnetic fields of the physics experiments at CERN;
• Qualify CMOS-HV, BCD, and GaN technologies for the design of radiation-tolerant power distribution ASICs, as well as devise design techniques to achieve the required radiation tolerance;
• Take part in the full characterisation of the electrical and radiation tolerance properties of the designed ASICs, as well as in the study of their long-term reliability;
• Develop functional models of the power distribution ASICs for high-level system simulations; 
• Coordinate the production, packaging and testing of the production-ready ASICs with Industrial suppliers and their distribution to collaborators in the CERN experiments, and provide support for their use in electronic systems.
