The IRIS Research Unit of the SD- Center is looking for a young recent graduate interested in pursuing an internship experience in the development of FPGA-based digital filter for radiation detectors. The ideal candidate is a proactive and dynamic young person with good organizational and interpersonal skills, with a propensity for teamwork, motivated to undertake training experience in an international context.
The intern, working alongside the Research Unit staff, will mainly develop firmware to implement various types of filters on an FPGA (such as triangular and trapezoidal) with tunable bandwidth to improve the Singl-to- Noise ratio of a radiation readout chain. The activity covers the following topics: Study the operating principle of the device to be controlled. If needed, develop a simple Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for interfacing the device to the FPGA. Write and simulate the source code of the firmware. Develop/modify a graphical user interface (GUI) running on a host PC to control the device and download/plot the acquired data. Test the generated firmware in the laboratory and characterize its performance.
The opportunity to join the team in other active and dynamic projects and to gain experience in a dynamic and challenging environment such as FBK will also be offered during the internship period. Requirements B. Sc. or M. Sc. degree in in Electrical/ Industrial/ Telecommunication Engineering, Physics (or similar). Knowledge of major subjects related to electronics and computer science. Experience in the use of laboratory instruments, such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies. Fluent knowledge of written and spoken Italian and English (min. level B2). Relational and teamwork skills. Good adaptability, flexibility and initiative skills. Basic knowledge of computer programming, such as C/C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python. Basic knowledge of microcontroller/FPGA firmware programming (C, VHDL or Verilog). Basic experience in PCB design. Internship information
