C++SoftwareEngineer(BE-CSS-DSP-2026-90-GRAP)

Are you an experienced Software Engineer with a passion for low-level, real-time systems? Join the Timing team in the Controls Software & Services group, to work on real-time software for the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. [ISOLDE](https://isolde.cern/), one of CERN's accelerator facilities, is undergoing a major upgrade, including its timing system to rely on the White Rabbit technology. Our team is responsible for designing, developing, and deploying the C++ software that generates the timing pulses used to synchronise accelerator equipment, and you will be involved in all aspects of this project. Your responsibilities: * Learn about the White Rabbit timing system, hardware modules and our real-time software framework for equipment control. * Contribute to the design of the new ISOLDE timing system. * Develop and commission the timing system. * Participate in the design of the software which controls the White Rabbit hardware modules used to synchronise equipment. * Develop the software following the design. * Contribute to the adaptation of the existing real-time software to the new timing system. More information [here](https://be-dep-css.web.cern.ch/devices-synchronisation-processing-dsp). Your profile: * Proven experience in C++ development, in a Linux (or Unix-like) environment, including practical experience developing real-time systems. * Experience with low-level development, libraries and kernel modules. * Experience applying software quality assurance techniques and practice with corresponding tools. Skills: * Hands-on C++ development. * Knowledge of Linux, low-level libraries and kernel modules. * Knowledge of programming techniques and languages on backends and embedded systems. * Very good knowledge of object-oriented programming principles. * Knowledge and application of software life-cycle tools and procedures including DevOps. * Familiarity with testing, diagnosing and optimisation of software. * Monitoring and troubleshooting of
