Scientist – Radio Frequency Circuits & Subsystems (all genders)

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions in Germany and is one of the leading organisations for application-oriented research. Around 32 000 employees develop the annual research volume of 3.4 billion euros. INNOVATIONS COMPONENTS WITH UNS At the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF we know our technologies like our Western Bag. As one of the few scientific institutions worldwide, we are researching along the entire semiconductor value chain and customized synthetic diamonds. Whether high-frequency circuits for communication technology, voltage converter modules for electromobility, laser systems for measuring methods, or novel hardware and software for quantum computers as well as quantum sensors: We develop technology from morning to day for a sustainable and safe society. You too?

The Microelectronics (ME) department designs microelectronic components and circuits for high-frequency technology and power electronics. Systems for sensor technology, communication technology and power electronics are developed on the basis of the high-frequency modules. We are also well equipped with state-of-the-art measuring technology. Your duties include: We develop, design and implement state-of-the-art circuits, modules and subsystems in the frequency range from 0.1 GHz to impressive 700 GHz. Their expertise helps to implement groundbreaking sensor systems, communication solutions and space technologies. You are involved from conception to characterization. You bring your ideas into exciting projects.
