The position:
IHP was the first European semiconductor manufacturer to release an open-source Process Design Kit (PDK) in early 2023. Unlike the other two prominent open PDKs—Google/SkyWater’s 130nm CMOS and GlobalFoundries’ 180nm
CMOS—the IHP PDK is based on a BiCMOS technology platform, featuring one of the fastest silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) currently available. This allows support for a wide range of applications,
from digital and mixed-signal circuits to high-frequency designs reaching up to 100 GHz. As a member of the Research & Prototyping Services group, you will play a key role in expanding open-source EDA
tool support for innovative chip design projects. In the context of new heterogeneous and chiplet integration efforts, we are developing an ADK alongside open-source EDA tool interfaces. Your primary focus will be the
integration of electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical simulation tools—all open-source—into the ADK design flow, enabling advanced multi-technology and multi-die design environments.

Anforderungsprofil:

Your profile:
You hold a Master's degree in physics, electrical engineering, or computer science and bring knowledge in semiconductor technology and devices, as well as experience in IC design and programming. Specialized
expertise in packaging techniques, device simulation, and modeling is highly desirable. You are proficient with Linux, GitHub, and scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl. You are organized, capable of managing
multiple projects in parallel, and maintain a clear overview in dynamic settings. With strong communication skills, you serve as a reliable and engaging contact for partners and collaborators.
You are also a strong team player. We are looking for a team member, who is able to structure his or her own work and to bring a well-organized and systematic way of working into the cooperation with creative minds. You are an ideal match for this position, when you have experimental, analytical and problem-solving skills, very strong communicative skills and the ability to quickly learn how to operate the latest technical equipment including varioussoftware. It is necessary that you confidently handle the English language. Knowledge of the German language is welcome.
The consolidating of German language skills is expected and highly encouraged, for example in in-house language courses and intensive courses.
