• Your expertise will contribute to the realization of groundbreaking sensor systems, communication solutions, and space technologies.
• You will be actively involved from the concept phase to characterization and will contribute your ideas to exciting projects.

What you bring to the table

• Completed degree (diploma or master's) in electrical engineering, microsystems engineering, or communications engineering, ideally with a doctorate
• Professional experience in working on and managing research projects
• Comprehensive knowledge of high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency electronics and the corresponding measurement technology
• Experience in the development of high-frequency circuits, preferably integrated circuits
• Confident use of circuit simulation programs and EM simulation tools (ADS, CST, HFSS, Momentum)
• Business fluent German and English skills as well as team spirit, strong communication skills, and an independent scientific approach to work

What you can expect

• Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure with the latest technology in high-frequency electronics
• Committed collaboration with innovative teams and industry on exciting projects
• Freedom for creativity and the opportunity to shape your own research and actively participate in scientific exchange
• Comprehensive development opportunities through a wide range of training courses and participation in international conferences
• A variety of additional benefits, including a company pension plan (VBL), a subsidy for the DeutschlandTicket, and health services
• Flexible working time models with the option to work up to 40% remotely from home, depending on the job
• Family-friendly workplace with daycare places at the “Junikäfer” daycare center in Freiburg, a child-friendly office, and extensive counseling services for home and elder care (pme Familienservice)
• Frelo station (bike rental system) and free parking garage with e-charging stations directly at the institute

The weekly working time is 39 hours. We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
