Offer Description

Your responsibilities

The Global Event Processor (GEP) is part of the ATLAS Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) ATLAS plans to deploy a hard real-time data filtering and processing system that uses fine granularity full event information to construct high resolution pattern recognition algorithms. These algorithms will be implemented on state-of-the-art field programmable gate array (FPGA) systems which employ novel system-on-chip architectures capable of high-speed machine learning inference. This position is part of the Next Generation Trigger program (https://cern.ch/nextgen-proposal ).

The selected candidate will be part of the CERN DAQ & Trigger Group. They will take an active role in developing algorithms and infrastructure for delivering FPGA-based pipelines that enable calorimeter-based, muon spectrometer-based, and global event reconstruction algorithms utilizing all of the available information on the GEP system.
