Lead the electronics development for advanced particle and radiation diagnostics in laser-plasma experiments.
О компании
- Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 120 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado .
- Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.
Обязанности
- Investigate, evaluate, and select readout, data link, and processing architectures for detectors operating in harsh interaction environments; own the resulting system architecture and document the trade-offs behind it.
- Design and implement readout electronics for imaging and particle detectors, including CMOS/CCD sensor interfacing, high-speed serial data links, and FPGA-based data acquisition.
- Develop FPGA firmware (VHDL/Verilog, Vivado/Vitis or equivalent) together with host-side acquisition, control, and visualisation software.
- Develop robust triggering and gating schemes with sub-nanosecond timing accuracy, including fibre-optic trigger and data distribution, synchronised to laser operation at repetition rates up to 10 Hz and beyond.
- Engineer EMP- and EMI-resilient electronics: grounding and isolation topologies, shielding concepts, cable and connector selection, and mitigation of coupling paths into in-chamber and near-chamber electronics.
- Specify and qualify components and subsystems for sustained, long-lived operation in the experimental environment; define and run the associated test and validation campaigns.
- Identify, evaluate, and manage external partners – specialist component suppliers, design houses, and research institutes – where capability is best sourced externally, and integrate their deliverables into our systems.
- Engineer diagnostics as transportable, beamtime-ready packages, and support their commissioning and field deployment at remote experimental facilities including the communication path from device to database storage
- Collaborate closely with IT, mechanical engineers, physicists to ensure networking, electronics, enclosure, cooling, and vacuum concepts are developed as one system.
- Participate in experimental preparation and execution alongside the rest of the scientific team
- Provide electronics and readout expertise across the wider diagnostics portfolio of the team.
Требования
- M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- 5 years or more of hands-on experience developing scientific or industrial electronic systems.
- Demonstrated experience with FPGA firmware development in VHDL or Verilog, including vendor toolchains, IP integration, and timing closure.
- Practical experience with image sensor or detector readout, including differential high-speed inter-faces (LVDS/SLVS) and sensor configuration and control.
- Board-level design or design specification experience covering high-speed digital signalling, signal integrity, and power delivery.
- Software proficiency in C/C++ and Python for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis.
- Ability to independently scope open technical questions, conduct structured technology evaluations, and make and defend design decisions with incomplete information.
- Confident use of laboratory instrumentation for debugging high-speed and mixed-signal systems (oscilloscopes, logic analysers, JTAG tooling).
- Ability to work independently in both laboratory and remote deployment settings, with strong communication skills and a collaborative, problem-solving mindset.
- Professional working proficiency in English.
Будет плюсом
- Experience with detector or DAQ electronics developed at accelerator, laser, fusion, or space research facilities.
- Experience mitigating electromagnetic pulse and interference effects in pulsed-power or high-field environments.
- Experience selecting and qualifying electronics intended for long operational lifetimes in ionising environments.
- Familiarity with fibre-optic data and timing distribution, including link budgeting and long-term degradation effects.
- Experience with gated imaging and precise shot-synchronised acquisition timing.
- Experience with on-chip image processing, high-level synthesis, or SoC-based designs combining programmable logic with embedded processors.
- Track record of deploying self-contained instrument packages at host facilities, for example in test-beam or external campaign settings.
- Familiarity with spectrometer types such as Thomson parabola, time-of-flight systems, or scintillator-based detectors.
- German language skills.
