Senior Analog IC Designer for R&D of Integrated Sensors and Systems
The Fraunhofer Gesellschaft ( www.fraunhofer.com ) 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 exle, to help save water and detergent through precise position measurement. As another exle, 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! Here''s how you will make a difference
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. What you bring to the table
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 p
