Das IHP ist ein Institut der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft und betreibt Forschung und Entwicklung zu siliziumbasierten Systemen, Höchstfrequenz-Schaltungen und -Technologien einschließlich neuer Materialien. Es erarbeitet innovative Lösungen für Anwendungsbereiche wie die drahtlose und Breitbandkommunikation, Sicherheit, Medizintechnik, Industrie 4.0, Mobilität und Raumfahrt. Das IHP beschäftigt ca. 330 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Es verfügt über eine Pilotlinie für technologische Entwicklungen und die Präparation von Hochgeschwindigkeits-Schaltkreisen mit 0,13/0,25 µm-BiCMOS-Technologien, die sich in einem 1000 m² großen Reinraum der Klasse 1 befindet.

The position:
As a member of the the SiGe-BiCMOS team within the department technology you will contribute to core research projects of IHP. An international team of highly motivated researchers, PhD's and technitians is looking forward to you. Flat hierarchies and mutual support are important to us. We see diversity of perspectives as a great advantage for our team.
Your research will be focused on device physics and fabrication technologies of high-speed SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT). This includes optimization of the SiGe BiCMOS technology for emerging new applications such as ultra-high data rate communication systems, THz imaging and sensing, and quantum technologies. Your tasks include research into new active and passive radio-frequency devices and their integration into a technology platform for the manufacture of integrated circuits. The work will be embedded in leading national and international research projects on high-frequency electronics.

Your qualifications:
You hold a master’s or PhD degree in electrical engineering or physics. You are already experienced in semiconductor device physics. Ideally, but not mandatory you have a background in silicon process technology.
You are also a strong team player. We are looking for a team member, who is able to structure his or her own work and to bring a well-organized and systematic way of working into the cooperation with creative minds. You are an ideal match for this position, when you have experimental, analytical and problem-solving skills, very strong communicative skills and the ability to quickly learn how to operate the latest technical equipment including various software. It is necessary that you confidently handle the English language. Knowledge of the German language is welcome. The deepening of German language skills is expected and highly encouraged, for example in in-house language courses and intensive courses.

Our Offer:
Do research in a challenging, multinational environment giving you excellent career opportunities. You will have the chance to establish international reputation at the edge of top-notch technologies. An orientation guide will help you to quickly integrate into the institute and to familiarize yourself with the field.
It is important to us to support the individual career developments (e.g. conferences, advanced trainings) as well as the personal needs of our employees by offering flexible working hours and the possibility to work off-site. The compatibility of work and family is highly valued. More information about our scientific excellence and the working environment at IHP can be found on our website.
