At the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF, we know our technologies like the back of our hand. As one of the few scientific institutions worldwide, we research along the entire semiconductor value chain and on customized synthetic diamonds. Whether it's high-frequency circuits for communication technology, voltage converter modules for electromobility, laser systems for measurement processes, or novel hardware and software for quantum computers and quantum sensors: At our Heilbronn branch, we research and develop electronic digital circuits with the aid of artificial intelligence together with our partners from industry and academia. The focus is on research and development for applications in the automotive, robotics, and security sectors. Substantial activities are underway worldwide to enable and improve the possibilities for using artificial intelligence through hardware design. The design flow of these circuits and their (sub)systems is of particular importance. Using AI design tools, the CMOS design flow is
We're looking for you to investigate AI methods for digital circuit design.
You'll analyze design and layout flows for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) silicon digital circuits.
You'll design (sub)components of digital circuits.
A focus will be on the use and development of automated and innovative design tools.
You have a completed university degree (Master's) in electrical engineering, communications engineering, computer science, or microsystems engineering, or a comparable field.
You'll also have initial experience in the digital field with regard to circuit design of CMOS components.
Ideally, you have already gained experience in using circuit simulation and 3D field simulation programs, for example, Cadence Virtuoso, Advanced Design System (ADS), the CST Studio Suite, or similar tools.
Last but not least, your qualities include good English, strong teamwork and communication skills, and a passion for experimental work.
100% remuneration according to TVöD
~ Personal development opportunities through a variety of training programs and participation in international conferences
