The IHP - Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics
invites applications for position in
Low-Power BiCMOS Signal Processing Circuit Design
AZ 4077/07
The IHP consists of approximately 230 research staff, primarily in the area of wireless communications, including SiGe-based technologies, diagnostics, and materials research. We are working in a multidisciplinary environment, spanning materials, process technology, circuits, and systems. The IHP is housed in a state-of-the-art building 55 minutes from Berlin, with ultra-modern facilities. Our innovations are in worldwide demand.
We are seeking candidates with a Master or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications, or Physics for exciting circuit design tasks in a new project on Ultra-High Bandwidth Low-Power Signal Processing.
The research focus is on analog circuit design for bringing complex ultra-fast digital performance beyond the state of the art in terms of speed and power. This requires a multi-level approach including digital system viewpoint, RF design, analog circuit design, device geometry optimization. The research involves simulation, circuit design and measurement of analog and digital signal processing at various levels of abstraction at 10-50 GHz clock rate in 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS.
The successful candidates will be highly motivated with background in the following fields:
• Digital design: Some experience with VHDL and/or Verilog is mandatory.
• Analog circuit design: Profound knowledge of circuit design, simulation and verification is
desired, basic experience with analog IC design (preferably Cadence design suite)
together with a quick learning ability is mandatory.
• RF design: Basics of RF IC design are required; RF tool experience (ADS, HFSS...)
is helpful.
• Measurement: Hands-on laboratory experiences in RF IC measurement and/or PCB
design and handling of RF measurement equipment would be an advantage.
The candidates will have the opportunity to work in a joint research project with leading technology companies in a multi-national team with state-of-the-art design environment, excellent laboratory facilities, and direct link to semiconductor technology/modelling department. These positions offer excellent research facilities, including the chance to pursue a PhD. Salary will be paid according to the TV-L scale.
Please send your application by letter/e-mail including CV, copies of (scanned) certificates, and addresses of at least two referees to:
