Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The role involves the electro-optical characterization and design of radiation-tolerant Silicon Photonics components for high-speed data transmission. You will also support the integration of photonic integrated circuits with particle readout chips and document experimental results.
Candidates must have a professional background in Electronic Engineering or Physics with a Master's or PhD degree. Proven experience in the design, simulation, and laboratory characterization of photonic components is required.
Join CERN's detector R&D program for future high-energy physics experiments, working on advanced optical communication technologies for next-generation particle detectors. In this role, you will contribute to the development of radiation-tolerant Silicon Photonics components for high-speed data transmission in challenging environments. Your work will include hands-on laboratory characterisation of Silicon Photonics circuits and the design of innovative photonic devices. This position offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of photonics, electronics, and particle detection technologies.
