Hardware Developer Backend Digital for ASIC and System on Chip (SoC)
We bring chip design back to Europe! If you want to contribute to the development of our Chip Design Center and are enthusiastic about microelectronics and the development of digital systems, especially in the front-end, then join our ambitious team! With us, your developments will become future-relevant products.
For a technologically more independent Europe, we want to develop Fraunhofer IIS into a European IC Design Center for trusted, energy-efficient high-speed ICs by 2025. As a leading competence center for digital chip design, we deliver essential cutting-edge technologies in the areas of exascale high performance computing and trusted electronics. In addition, we offer sophisticated digital design services based on RISC-V. Our target customers are design houses, semiconductor manufacturers, SMEs and system integrators. Potential applications are in areas such as high-speed data processing, block chain or cybersecurity. Today, the Integrated Digital Systems business unit develops digital circuits in CMOS technologies as System on Chip, ASIC or IP. This includes the development of the chip architecture, its modeling and verification as well as the integration in nanometer technologies from 180 nm to smaller than 12 nm.
What you will do
As a Hardware Developer Backend Digital you will have the opportunity to work in a highly innovative area as part of an engaged team. You will specify, implement and optimize hardware components of complex SoCs and mixed signal ASICs for high performance or low power. For this, you will use state-of-the-art design tools for RTL code checking, physical logic synthesis, timing analysis as well as test integration. In your projects, you will closely work with your colleagues in front-end design and place&route layout. You will also assist with project planning and effort estimates. Furthermore, you are welcome to take the initiative for new topics and develop them further.
What you bring to the table
The position is also suitable for career starters with previous knowledge from final thesis, internships or part-time jobs.
What you can expect
Fraunhofer IIS offers an extremely attractive working environment in a highly innovative key industry. You will work in a dedicated international team with best networking on versatile projects using state-of-the-art technologies and design tools. This usually involves going through the entire design flow from RTL design to layout with state-of-the-art design tools in a high-performance infrastructure. Regular further training and the best company equipment are just as much a matter of course as a "you" company culture characterized by collegiality and openness, a healthy work-life balance and home office options.
The weekly working time is 39 hours. The position is initially limited to 2 years with the aim to extend it subsequently. 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. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. Appointment, remuneration and social security benefits based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD). Additionally Fraunhofer may grant performance-based variable remuneration components.
With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
