Join the Electronic Systems for Experiments (ESE) group at CERN to contribute to the production and the functional testing activities of the Hybrid circuits for the CMS Phase-2 Outer Tracker Upgrade. In this project, you will gain experience in the qualification and production of state-of-the-art instrumentation being manufactured for the CMS detector upgrade. You will help us to make reality a large-scale upgrade project where unprecedented complexity pairs with unprecedented scale.
Your responsibilities
- Contribute to the quality control and testing of prototype circuits; install, verify and maintain large-scale test systems at multiple high-tech industrial contractors.
- Contribute to the engineering support for the industrial partners to set-up and maintain the manufacturing processes of the hybrids.
- Support the organisation and logistics efforts required for the production of hybrids, collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams, including hardware, software, quality control and physics experts to define and implement quality requirements.
- Provide engineering support for the debugging, repair and production of a large-scale automated test system.
- Prepare documentation and reports to the collaboration about the progress of the testing activity and the manufacturing.
