Summer worker in Scientific Data Group (FPGA programmer) - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

MAX IV is looking for a summer worker with knowledge in FPGA-based solutions for our Scientific Data team.

Your team
The MAX IV Scientific Data group develops and supports software projects for data acquisition and
analysis from the beamline experimental stations. We deal with challenging high data
rates and large data volumes using modern software frameworks and computing infrastructure,
integrating them into effective, high performance and sustainable services.

Work duties and areas of responsibility
A core activity of the Scientific Data group is the acquisition and processing of data from X-ray
detectors. These instruments generate ever higher data rates which motivates the use of data
reduction or compression algorithms running in an FPGA layer close to the detector. We are
looking for a student to work on the implementation of such FPGA-based solutions.

To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications
• Be following a university curriculum in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics,
Engineering, e-Sciences, or similar field and completed at least 120hp (equivalent to two
year's fulltime studies)
• Experience working with FPGAs using HLS (e.g. Vivado) and/or OpenCL
• Fundamentals of programming in a high-level language (Python, C++) in a Linux
environment
• Be comfortable working in an English speaking group

One or more of the below are seen as merits
• Previous experience with use of FPGAs for data processing tasks
• Knowledge of AI/ML approaches for data compression
• Basic experience with collaborative software development.

As a person you take initiative to solve problems, are creative, flexible and performance oriented and have an ability to cooperate and work with others. You must be at least 18 years old to apply.

What we offer
When you join our MAX IV team, you step into a world of front edge science. We make the invisible visible by supporting scientist from all over the world, generating scientific results for the benefit of society. We offer you a multicultural work environment with great opportunities for personal development with respect for a healthy work-life balance.

Would you like to work in a challenging and supporting environment? Then join us and take the opportunity to make a real difference!
