Flexibility, self-determination, creativity, interdisciplinarity - our mission
Your tasksWe are looking for a research assistant to join our activities in communication and sensing technology. You will participate in the applied research development of the next generation RF and mmW Integrated circuits:
- Translation of system requirements into the design of integrated RF/mmW circuits
- Layout and verification of integrated RF/mmW circuits
- Implementation of research ideas into relevant scientific results
- Potential supervision of BSc/MSc students
Your profile - Team oriented attitude
- Creative thinker with strong problem solving skills
- Good written and oral communication skills in English
- MSc of PhD in electrical Engineering or equivalent practical work experience
- Knowledge of EDA (Cadence or Synopsys) frontend and backend circuits with basic concepts such as cicuit noise and linearity, linear amplifiers, low-noise linear transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), automatic gain control (AGC) circuits, and linear equalizers
- Prior knowledge or knowledge of heterojunction bipolar transistors
- Experience in testing and debugging high-speed analog and mixed-signal ICs, as well as experience with physical design and verification (passive component design using industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and EMX or HFSS)
Your prospects: The FHNW is part of a diverse society: it benefits from the resulting opportunities and acknowledges its responsibilities. In doing so, it goes a step further - the adoption of unconventional paths calls for creativity, openness and courage.
Your benefits:Wide range of university sports
Cultural programme of lectures, concerts, theatre and films
