Research Assistant Analog / Mixed-Signal Circuit Design for Quantum Applications

We are looking for analog/mixed-signal circuit designers looking to do their PhD or PostDoc in the field of analog CMOS Design. We have multiple open PhD positions related to projects in the field of cryogenic integrated circuits for quantum applications. For example integrated circuit to control states for trapped-ion quantum computer, systems on chips (SoC) for quantum dots, pump tone generation for TWPAs, drivers for Josephson's Junction Arrays (JJA) and many more exciting topics.

Responsibilities

• Design of analog, mixed-signal and high-frequency integrated circuits in CMOS technologies for Electronic control and readout of superconducting devices. For example, microwave controller for ion trap qubits, e.g. Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS), Oscillators, Bit pattern generator, cryogenic DACs and amplitude waveform shaping
• High-level integration of circuits into a System-on-Chip and top-level simulations
• Verification in measurement of the circuits on-wafer and on board
• Active participation in research projects and consortia
• Writing conference and journal papers

Qualifications

• Master degree in electrical engineering, physics or relevant field
• Strong knowledge in the field of analog, mixed-signal and/or RF integrated circuits
• Very good understanding of CMOS circuit design
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso is a plus
• Experience with electromagnetics field simulation tools is a plus, but not must
• Good MATLAB and/or Python skills are advantageous
• High level of personal motivation, responsibility and continuous learning abilities
• Openness to work in a diverse, international working environment
• Very good knowledge of the English (and possibly German) language
