The program is rooted in the Bavarian Chip Design Center (BCDC), a strategic initiative supported by the Free State of Bavaria. BCDC aims to strengthen the regional semiconductor industry and develop skilled talent in integrated circuit (IC) design. Introduction to Digital IC Design: You will receive a comprehensive introduction to Digital IC Design under the guidance of experienced engineers and researchers.
Practical Experience: You will gain hands-on experience in designing and analyzing digital circuits from the front-end perspective.
Professional Preparation: You will be prepared for a career in the digital design industry.
Experience with EDA Tools: You will gain hands-on experience with industry-grade EDA tools.
Master's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Analog Circuit Design, or related fields such as Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Medical Engineering, or comparable disciplines.
Knowledge in Data structures and algorithms, computer architecture, coding and scripting.
A background in studies focused on digital systems, verification, embedded software, or digital hardware is desirable, but not mandatory.
Experience with design tools such as Cadence or Synopsys is considered advantageous.
Proficiency in English at least at B2/C1 level.
Theoretical Experience: You will gain expertise in digital integrated circuit (IC) design, efficiently mapping finite state machines (FSMs) and datapaths in an IC, as well as the RISC-V instruction set.
Practical Training: We will teach you scripting, automation, and EDA tools for synthesis, power analysis, and more, through a tailored trainee program that combines academic and industrial development.
We take your goals and needs seriously by providing consistent guidance and support through assigned mentors and regular feedback sessions to enhance your experience.
Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a healthy work-life balance with flexible working hours.
Unique Opportunities: We offer you access to a unique network of experts and partners in research and industry, insights into innovative technologies and state-of-the-art design methodologies.
R&D Experience: Get a glimpse into one of Europe’s leading R&D IC design facilities.
Appointment, remuneration and social security benefits based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD).
