Fraunhofer-Institut für Mikroelektronische Schaltungen und Systeme IMS | Germany | 47xxx Duisburg | Temporary contract | Part time - flexible / Full time / Home office | Published since: 01.06.2026 on stepstone.de
Group Leader Advanced Digital ASIC & FPGA Design
The Fraunhofer Society is one of the world's leading organisations for application-oriented research. 75 institutes develop groundbreaking technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 32 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. You know, who comes to Fraunhofer wants and can change something. For yourself, for us and the markets of today and tomorrow. Our research group “System on a chip” focuses on efficient digital architectures for demanding embedded and low-power applications – from RISC-V-based systems to AI accelerators and UCIe interfaces to highly specialized state machines. We realize our developments on FPGA platforms as well as in semiconductor technologies from 180 nm to 22 nm and accompany them throughout from the first idea to concept and implementation to the successful implementation in real applications and series production. With this we create the basis for AI in edge systems and for a new generation of intelligent sensor technology. Together, we also want to further expand the field of chiplet development for 2.5D-/3D heterointegration and, in particular, to make our intelligent CMOS control electronics decisive for photonic integrated circuits (PIC). .
