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 one challenging and future-oriented research assistant position. 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

• independent research in the field of integrated digital CMOS circuits
• design, implementation and characterisation of monolithically integrated (RISC-V, ... )
  microprocessors, custom digital integrated circuits, neuromorphic computing, AI/ML hardware,
• development and analysis of digital and/or mixed-signal circuits, in particular mixed-signal calibration concepts
• execution of the complete IG development cycle: P&R schematic design, simulation, layout and verification of digital and/or mixed-signal circuits
