INNOVATIONS FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
CHANGE STARTS WITH US

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.

We are looking for you as a scientist (all genders) for component development! Contribute your expertise and look forward to exciting challenges where you can develop innovative processes and work on groundbreaking research and development projects in a dedicated environment.

What you will do

In the Technology department, we work on the processing of wafers for the manufacture of microelectronic components and circuits for applications in high-frequency technology and power electronics based on the semiconductor material GaN.

• Together with your colleagues, you will develop processes to improve component properties, particularly with regard to power density, efficiency, yield, and reliability.
• In cooperation with the Epitaxy and Microelectronics departments, you will acquire and manage national and international research and development projects.
• You will drive innovative projects forward and work in an interdisciplinary manner to develop forward-looking solutions.

What you bring to the table

• Completed university degree (master's/diploma) in physics, electrical engineering, or microsystems technology, ideally with a doctorate
• Experience in semiconductor technology, especially in GaN electronics, as well as knowledge of materials science and the functioning of electronic semiconductor components
• Ideally: Experience in acquiring and managing projects
• Ability to work independently with the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new problems
• Team spirit, strong communication skills, and enjoyment of experimental work
• Business fluent German and English skills

What you can expect

• Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure with the latest technology
• 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
• 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 can also be filled on a part-time basis. 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.
