Jobbeschreibung
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft currently operates 74 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.
In our »Integrated Sensor Systems« department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, we work on a wide range of sensor technologies for a variety of applications. Our magnetic field sensors are used in washing machines, for example, to help save water and detergent through precise position measurement. As another example, we are developing multispectral image sensors that are used in agriculture to detect weeds. This enables selective control and saves on pesticides Innovative AlGaN/GaN sensors enable new sensor principles for even more sensitive sensors, which consistently expand our established fields of application.
Are you genuinely experienced in analog circuit design and eager to shape innovative technologies?
Then contribute your expertise to cutting-edge, application-oriented research and share your passion for circuit development with the next generation of engineers!
You will primarily design analog circuits for complex mixed-signal ASICs and integrated sensor systems. A particular focus lies on low-power circuits for integrated magnetic and optical sensors. With your experience, you can contribute constructively to various project phases from conceptualization to implementation and participate in the layout of critical circuit parts through to the evaluation of prototypes.
You will also use your experience to support newcomers in their personal development as professional IC designers. Together with young colleagues, you will work in a team on the specification, design and verification of ASICs and typical function blocks such as PGAs and ADCs.
In addition, you will support or take over the technical project management in development and research projects in the field of IC design. In your projects, you will be supported by our team in project management, evaluation and series transfer.
- Completed scientific university degree in electrical engineering, physics or a comparable field of study
- At least 4 years of professional experience in circuit development
- Sound knowledge of analog or mixed-signal circuit design
- Experience in the design, simulation and layout of integrated circuits with Cadence
- In-depth understanding of circuit functionality to develop innovative circuit designs
- Good command of written and spoken English and preferably German
- High degree of independence and personal responsibility
The following is also an advantage:
- Experience in technical project management
- Expertise in signal processing for integrated sensors, especially magnetic field sensors
Fraunhofer is not only the largest organization for application-oriented research in Europe, but we are also considered a top employer. But why?
- Fraunhofer IIS is also one of Europe's leading IC design institutes.
- We offer a wide range of excellent training and continuing education opportunities (internal & external).
- You will have opportunities for scientific exchange within and outside the institute, e.g. through active participation in congresses and conferences.
- We work with state-of-the-art equipment in a highly innovative key industry. You will benefit from a unique network of experts and partners in research and industry.
- You will have the opportunity to contribute your creativity to pioneering research projects and pass on your knowledge to motivated junior staff.
