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 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. Fraunhofer IIS is also one of Europe's leading IC design institutes . The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft plays a central role in the innovation process by focusing on key technologies of relevance to the future and on the utilization of the results in business and industry. As a trailblazer and driving force for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it helps to shape our society and our future.

Ihr Profil

Are you genuinely experienced in analog circuit design and eager to shape innovative technologies? 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 Experience in technical project management Expertise in signal processing for integrated sensors, especially magnetic field sensors

Ihre Aufgaben

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.

Wir bieten

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.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social background, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
