Tätigkeitsprofil:

The position:
At IHP, we research and develop cutting-edge silicon-based technologies for high-performance microelectronics. Our Process Integration group is a key part of the Technology Department, driving innovations in SiGe heterojunction
bipolar transistors (HBTs), germanium photodiodes, and modulators for applications in the sub-terahertz and highspeed optical communication domains. We are currently looking for an experienced and visionary Group Leader (f/m/d) to lead and advance our process integration activities.
As the head of the Process Integration group, you will take scientific and strategic responsibility for three core teams:

• Device & Technology Development
  Develop and optimize semiconductor devices for integration into IHP's advanced 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology platform. Guide research in device physics, TCAD simulation, reliability studies, and yield optimization according to industrial standards
• Electrical Characterization
  Oversee a state-of-the-art measurement laboratory focusing on DC and RF characterization, compact modeling, and statistical process control (SPC) of processed silicon wafers
• Process Control & Prototype Production
  Support multi-project wafer (MPW) production and prototype runs. Analyze process data and electrical results (PCM), identify failures, and implement improvements to ensure robust process stability and yield

You will be responsible for:

• Defining goals, monitoring progress, and evaluating results in close cooperation with your team and other departments
• Strategically shaping research directions and aligning them with industry trends in high-frequency electronics, optoelectronics, and IC manufacturing
• Guiding and developing your team, conducting performance reviews, and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation

Anforderungsprofil:

Your qualifications:
You have proven leadership experience in managing scientific and technical teams. This includes advanced competencies in employee development, conflict resolution, strategic planning, and performance assessment. Your
strong scientific background lies in solid-state physics, semiconductor device physics, and silicon-based microelectronics. You bring hands-on experience in semiconductor technology development, with in-depth
knowledge of cleanroom processes, device simulation, and electrical characterization. You possess a sound understanding of current trends in RF and microwave engineering, communications technology, and photonic integration. You are fluent in English, both spoken and written; German language skills are considered an asset or should be developed with support.
