Embedded Electronics Engineer

Develop and maintain firmware for high-precision, Ethernet-enabled embedded systems based on Cortex-M microcontrollers. Implement and optimise features for real-time data acquisition and sub-microsecond synchronisation across distributed infrastructures. Deploy, test, and troubleshoot embedded solutions in operational environments, including testbenches and large-scale systems. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate embedded systems with broader data acquisition and control infrastructures. Conduct R&D; on Gbit Ethernet, wireless communication protocols, and advanced timing synchronisation techniques. Participate in code reviews, documentation, and continuous improvement of firmware libraries and tools. Support system commissioning, performance analysis, and troubleshooting in collaboration with hardware and software teams.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, we are pushing the frontiers of science and technology.
