Your responsibilities
We are excited to invite a motivated Network System Engineer to join our team and contribute to innovative projects. This role offers a unique opportunity to work with stateoftheart networking equipment and help shape the future DAQ (Data Acquisition) system for the CMS experiment at CERN.
CMS one of two generalpurpose particle physics experiments at CERNs Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on a sophisticated DAQ system to aggregate and process collision data. Looking ahead to the High Luminosity LHC upgrade (2029) youll help design a highspeed Ethernetbased network capable of managingGb/s sources aggregating to 200 nodes at 400Gb/s and forwarding data to thousands of processing nodes.If youre passionate about networking and want to make a lasting impact wed love to hear from you!
Responsibilities:
- Work with CuttingEdge Network Equipment: Gain handson experience with stateoftheart network technology and contribute to the design of the future DAQ network system.
- Install and Maintain the 400GE Test System: Set up and support the 400GE test system for the nextgeneration DAQ network.
- Perform Network Testing and Equipment Qualification: Conduct tests and qualify equipment to ensure compliance with DAQ requirements.
- Advance Network Monitoring Systems: Maintain and enhance both current and future network monitoring for seamless operations.
- Support Daily Operations: Perform regular monitoring and inspections to keep the data network at peak performance.
- Develop Tools for Network Analysis: Create and maintain tools for network measurement and performance analysis using C and Python.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds largest and most complex scientific instruments they study the basic constituents of matter fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on
Diversity has been an integral part of CERNs mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
