Electronics Engineer F/M

Context & Job description

Are you passionate about electronics and scientific instrumentation? Do you thrive in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment? The ESRF Electronics Unit is seeking an Electronics Engineer to drive the development of cutting-edge electronic instrumentation that enables world-class scientific experiments.

In this role, you will work with the control electronics that operate and coordinate the instruments and motion systems, enabling experiments to run smoothly, safely, and with high precision.  You will also collaborate with highly skilled interdisciplinary teams and contribute to projects with real impact in a leading scientific environment.

As an Electronics Engineer in the Electronics Unit, you will:

  • Develop and maintain control electronics hardware for the ESRF experimental stations (beamlines) and the accelerator complex.
  • Provide high-quality technical support to users, ensuring reliable operation of our control electronics solutions across beamlines and accelerators.
  • Design and implement electronics for instrumentation, including sensor interfaces, low-noise and high-speed circuits, embedded systems, and motion control.

 You will have the opportunity to work on exciting and high-impact projects, including:

  • Participate in the construction of a new state-of-the-art beamline.
  • Collaborate on the development of mechatronic instruments with nanometer-level positioning resolution.
  • Contribute to advanced timing systems achieving sub-nanosecond synchronisation and picosecond jitter, and to instrumentation enabling picoampere-level current measurements.

Expected profile

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a proactive, technically skilled, and hands-on engineer with a solution-driven mindset and a strong sense of service to internal users. You should have:

  • A Master’s degree (or equivalent, 300 ECTS) in Electronics or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in electronics engineering, ideally with hands-on electronic boards design. Candidates with less experience may be considered if they have relevant expertise.
  • Solid background in digital and analog electronics, including circuit design, schematics, and PCB layout.
  • Good IT proficiency; programming (Python, C) and FPGA design are assets.
  • Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, with effective time management and sound critical thinking.
