Scientific employee, PhD student, or postdoc at TU Dresden

in circuit design 

on organic, flexible, roll-to-roll-printed & plastic-based semiconductor technologies 

The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position is in the frame of the FLEXIBILITY (Flexible Multifunctional Bendable Integrated Light-Weight Ultra-Thin Systems) project funded by the EU involving 7 industry partners and 4 research institutions. PhD students will find excellence prerequisites for an innovative PhD thesis. The first wireless communication receiver fully integrated in a piece of plastic foil (without the need for a silicon chip) will be developed. The project is coordinated by our chair and provides an excellent platform for interdisciplinary cooperation with industry partners. 

Tasks: 

Design (analyses, simulation, device modelling, layout, testing and documen-tation) of circuits and systems operating up to radio frequencies in novel OLAE (Organic and Large Area Electronics) and roll-to-toll printed technologies for wireless communications. The authoring of scientific publications and the participation at project meetings and international conferences are expected. The active involvement in project management is planned for postdocs. 

Requirements:
Excellent to good master, Dipl.-Ing. or PhD degree in microelectron-ics, electrical engineering, physics or chemistry. Knowledge in circuit design, inde-pendent and flexible working attitude, innovative and analytical thinking, strong commitment, communicative team-player, good English. Knowledge in the following areas is advantageous: Integrated circuit design, OLAE, device modelling, high frequency engineering, communications and semiconductor technologies, measure-ment techniques, German language.
Miscellaneous:
Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to the disabled. Interested candidates are requested to submit concise application material including CV and copy of certificates per email in pdf format to Frank.Ellinger@tu-dresden.de [read more...]

IBM INDIA: Job Opportunities

IBM INDIA SEMICONDUCTOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CENTER(SRDC)

IBM SRDC develops all of IBM’s semiconductor technologies including SOI, Bulk CMOS, RFCMOS, HV CMOS, and SiGe HBT BiCMOS Technologies. The IBM SRDC at Bangalore is responsible for developing compact models and process design kits (PDK), leading edge computational lithography, functional characterization support and theory, designs, models for nanoscale devices.

Job Opportunities

COMPACT MODELING ENGINEER: Work in a very challenging environment with experienced device modelers and RF circuit designers. The responsibilities will include development of compact models for both active (FET, BJT) and passive (diodes, varactors, MIMCAP, inductors) devices in mixed signal, and RF technologies. Working closely with device engineers to define parameter targets and with foundry clients to resolve any modeling issues in design. Defining test programs for DC and RF device measurement and characterization. Use of software such as ICCAP to extract parameters for BSIM, PSP or other models. Strong semiconductor device physics background and previous experience of device modeling / characterization / design are required. The candidate should have a MS degree in Electrical Engineering / Physics with at least 3 years of experience in device modeling related work or a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering.

DESIGN AUTOMATION TECHNICAL LEAD: An experienced professional to lead the PDK Design Automation (DA) team. Bangalore team is responsible for device model and enablement for process development kit (PDK) for some of the key technologies of IBM's specialty foundry business. The person leading the DA team will be part of a highly talented team with global experience and should be able to maintain the best-in-class PDK quality that IBM is known for. The minimum experience for this position should be at least 6-7 years of industry experience in the area of Design Automation (Parasitic extraction, Final kit Testing, DRC code generation, Pcell development) in the RF, analog & mixed signal environment. The ideal candidate should be able to lead a team of 10+ engineers, technically mentor and guide on project deliverables, can effectively collaborate with different GEO's like US & France and interface with Foundry customers on Design Automation related issues. Minimum academic qualification should be Master's with 6-7 years or PhD with 3+ years of relevant experience. Exceptional candidates with outstanding credentials with Bachelor's degree with 8-9 years of experience may also be considered. Previous management experience is a plus.
