Located in the heart of Germany's capital, TU Berlin is one of the country’s largest and most renowned technical universities, with around 35,000 students. TU Berlin is a vibrant place for work, research, learning, and living. We offer a variety of family, sports, and professional development programs. As a certified family-friendly university, we place a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Become part of TU Berlin – we are shaping the ideas of the future for the benefit of society.
The internationally renowned Mixed Signal Circuit Design group at Technische Universität Berlin conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of energy-efficient microelectronic circuits and systems for mobile, wired, and fiber-optic communication.
About the Position
The internationally renowned Chair of Mixed Signal Circuit Design (MSC) conducts both fundamental and applied research in the field of energy-efficient microelectronic circuits and systems adressing innovative communication systems.
The Mixed Signal Circuit Design Group is offering two challenging and future-oriented research assistant positions. The goal is the development of energy-efficient CMOS and/or SiGe circuits for innovative mobile or optical communication systems with ultra-high data rates. Your research will be part of an ambitious team that combines state-of-the-art approaches from circuit design, optical communication, and AI-based calibration.
Key areas of focus:
- Design of ultra-fast and/or high-precision analog and mixed-signal circuits in CMOS and SiGe technologies
- Monolithic IC Integration
- Scientific and personal exchange with national and international project partners
Your responsibility
- teaching and independent research in the field of high-speed integrated CMOS design, e.g., LNAs, TIAs, equalizers, VGAs, ADCs & DACs for future communication systems
- implementation and characterization of your CMOS or SiGe ICs in our advanced high-frequency lab
- publication of your excellent research results at international conferences, workshops, and in peer-reviewed journals
Your profile
- successfully completed scientific university degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) in the field of micro- or nanoelectronics, electrical engineering, communications engineering, or related disciplines; excellent degree desired
- strong motivation for academic research is desired
- strong expertise in device and circuit modelling
- solid knowledge in circuit design (analog/digital/mixed-signal), including schematic design, simulation, and layout
- sound experience in high-speed CMOS or SiGe design
- the ability to teach in German and/or in English is required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
- knowledge in signal processing and communication theory is a plus
- experience with sub-nm CMOS or SiGe technologies and EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Mentor) (desirable)
- enthusiastic, motivated, and team-oriented personality with the ability to work in an interdisciplinary and international environment (desirable)
What we offer
- a demanding and highly relevant research project
- close collaboration with other research institutions and industry
- internationally recognized and highly motivated team
- option for remote work (in consultation with your supervisor)
- diverse sports and health programs through the university sports center
- a wide range of professional development opportunities
- a welcoming and collaborative environment with international researchers
