Located in the heart of Germany's capital, TU Berlin is one of the country’s largest and most renowned technical universities, with around 35,000 students. TU Berlin is a vibrant place for work, research, learning, and living. We offer a variety of family, sports, and professional development programs. As a certified family-friendly university, we place a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Become part of TU Berlin – we are shaping the ideas of the future for the benefit of society.

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 for mobile, wired, and optical fiber communications.

We offer a challenging and future-oriented position as part of the DFG (German Research Foundation) funded research project ScaledRX (Highly-scalable (hybrid-) beam-forming RF-receiver architecture”), investigates architectural advances required for future energy-efficient large-scale (hybrid) beam-forming RF and mm-Wave transceivers enabling significant power consumption and silicon area savings while providing highest data rates, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and bit error rate (BER). Beyond, the suggested sampled beam-forming techniques
enables single-chip integration of large NxN-segment beam-forming antenna arrays (N >> 2)
while maintaining full beam-forming flexibility.

Research Focus
- the design of wideband RF & mixed-signal circuits in CMOS technology
- integration into mobile receiver systems with an NxM antenna array

A scientific and personal exchange with the international and national is an integral part of the project.

• independent research in analog and RF integrated CMOS design, including LNAs, mixers, VGAs, and ADCs for future wireless systems
• implementation and characterization of your RF-CMOS ICs in our MSC high-frequency laboratory
• publication of your high-quality research results in international journals and at conferences

• successfully completed scientific university degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) in the field of micro- or nanoelectronics, electrical engineering, communications engineering, or related disciplines; excellent degree desired
• strong motivation for academic research and interest in a possible PhD (desirable)
• solid experience in analog/RF/mixed-signal circuit design, including schematic design, simulation, and layout
• proven expertise in analog and/or RF CMOS design, including LNA, VGAs, and ADCs
• knowledge in signal processing and communication theory is a plus
• experience with sub-nm CMOS technologies and EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Mentor)
• proactive, motivated, and team-oriented personality with the ability to work in an interdisciplinary and international environment (desirable)
• good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

• Participation in an international highly visible research project
• close collaboration with other academic and industry partners
• a renowned and motivated research team
• possibility for remote/flexible work arrangements (in consultation with your supervisor)
• access to a wide range of sports and health programs via the university sports center
• comprehensive professional development opportunities
• a friendly and international working environment
