Your responsibility

• Research within the DFG Cluster of Excellence „Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era (REC²)“ under the direction of the chair.
• Research in the field of RF-photonics and plasmonics to realize the objectives of the project that could include simulations, design, and measurements.
• Collaborate within the cluster and within the chair’s group and contribute to IP and publications.

Your profile

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) and one that is completed no later than the date the contract is signed PhD in electrical engineering, optics/photonics, physics, or a closely related subject area.
• Experience in EM simulation (e.g., Ansys Lumerical, Tidy3D, CST Microwave Studio, COMSOL, HFSS, or similar, or numerical methods).
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
• Strong motivation and independence desirable
• Ability to work in a team desirable
• Experience in one of the following areas (experience in more than one area is advantageous) and willingness to acquire the missing skills:

1. Photonic integrated circuits: Experience in design or familiarity with layout software (Synopsys Optodesigner, Gdsfactory, or similar).
2. Microwave engineering: Experience in microwave engineering and design (CST Microwave Studio, ADS, HFSS, or similar). Experience with designing for any MPW run (IHP, Fraunhofer, or similar) is advantageous.
3. Experimental work on RF-photonics: Experience in on-chip photonics measurements or microwave measurement setups.
   4, Plasmonics: Experience in working with plasmonic structures, designing and testing them.
