Overview

SHAPING THE FUTURE — TECHNOLOGICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF we know our technologies like the back of our hand. Because we are one of the few scientific institutions worldwide to conduct research along the entire semiconductor value chain and on tailor-made synthetic diamonds. Whether high-frequency circuits for communications technology, voltage converter modules for electromobility, laser systems for measurement processes, or innovative hardware and software for quantum computers and quantum sensors: we develop tomorrow’s technology in-house for a sustainable and secure society.

What You Will Do

The Microelectronics (ME) department designs microelectronic components and circuits for high-frequency technology and power electronics. Systems for sensor technology, communication technology, and power electronics are developed based on high-frequency modules. We are also equipped with state-of-the-art measurement technology.

• With us, you will develop, design, and implement state-of-the-art circuits, modules, and subsystems in the frequency range up to an impressive 700 GHz.
• Your expertise will contribute to the realization of groundbreaking sensor systems, communication solutions, and space technologies.
• You will be actively involved from the concept phase to characterization and will contribute your ideas to exciting projects.

What You Bring To The Table

• Completed degree (diploma or master's) in electrical engineering, microsystems engineering, or communications engineering, ideally with a PhD
• Professional experience in working on and managing research projects
• Comprehensive knowledge of high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency electronics and the corresponding measurement technology
• Experience in the development of high-frequency circuits, preferably integrated circuits
• Confident use of circuit simulation programs and EM simulation tools (ADS, CST, HFSS, Momentum)
• Business fluent German and English skills as well as team spirit, strong communication skills, and an independent scientific approach to work

What You Can Expect

• Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure with the latest technology in high-frequency electronics
• Committed collaboration with innovative teams and industry on exciting projects
• Freedom for creativity and the opportunity to shape your own research and actively participate in scientific exchange
• Comprehensive development opportunities through a wide range of training courses and participation in international conferences
• A variety of additional benefits, including a company pension plan (VBL), a subsidy for the DeutschlandTicket, and health services
• Flexible working time models with the option to work up to 40% remotely from home, depending on the job
• Family-friendly workplace with daycare places at the “Junikäfer” daycare center in Freiburg, a child-friendly office, mobile working and extensive counseling services for home and elder care (pme Familienservice)
• Free parking garage, e-charging stations and Frelo station (bike rental system) and bus stop directly at the institute

The weekly working hours are 39 hours. The position is initially limited to three years.

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. Severely disabled persons will be given preference if equally qualified. Our tasks are diverse and adaptable – for applicants with disabilities, we work together to find solutions that optimally promote their abilities. The same applies if they do not meet all profile requirements due to a disability.

With its focus on key technologies relevant to the future and the exploitation of results in business and industry, the Fraunhofer Society plays a central role in the innovation process. As a guide and catalyst for innovative development and scientific excellence, it helps shape our society and our future.

Ready for change? Then apply now and make a difference! Once we have received your online application (cover letter, resume, relevant certificates), you will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt. We will then contact you as soon as possible to let you know how to proceed.
