Start of a CERN-ESA OSIP activity on COTS variability for space and accelerator and internship opportunity

Submitted by acoronet on
CERN ESA OSIP COTS

CERN R2E recently started an ESA co-financed OSIP activitiy titled 'Exploring device radiation variability and related assurance methodologies through large batch procurements' and is now seeking for an intern to work on integrated circuit platform development for SEE and TID testing. Internship announcement below.

Are you a University student looking for a unique opportunity to put to use your skills in Electronics Engineering in the context of space radiation qualification? Then, join the Short Term Internship 2023 program at CERN for a chance to work on an ESA OSIP project.

As a short term 6-month intern at CERN, you will join the Radiation to Electronics (R2E) team within the SY-STI-BMI group and be responsible for the development of hardware and software platforms to be used to assess the variability of the commercial EEE components response to the effects of the space radiation environment. These components are expected to be used at different projects of radiation-tolerant electronics for the space industry as well as the accelerator systems. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience on criticalities related to the use and the reliability of electronics in space, to get in touch with the ground-based radiation qualification strategies and to further improve your skills in designing hardware and software compatible with an existing FPGA-based general purpose testing platform.

To be considered for this position, please apply through the CERN career website (CV, motivation letter, etc.) and please notify Andrea Coronetti (andrea.coronetti@cern.ch) by email of your interest by May 31st.
