Job DescriptionYour responsibilitiesWe 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 state-of-the-art networking equipment and help shape the future DAQ (Data Acquisition) system for the CMS experiment at CERN.CMS, one of two general-purpose particle physics experiments at CERN’s 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), you’ll help design a high-speed Ethernet-based network capable of managing 1,000 100Gb/s sources, aggregating to 200 nodes at 400Gb/s, and forwarding data to thousands of processing nodes.If you’re passionate about networking and want to make a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you!Responsibilities:
- Work with Cutting-Edge Network Equipment: Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art 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 next-generation 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 usAt CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s 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.
