Job description

The Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration, IZM, is one of the world's leading institutes for electronic packaging and system-integration technologies as well as for applied research and development of robust and reliable electronic components, modules and systems.

R&D activities at Fraunhofer IZM in Cottbus concentrate on the design and development of application-specific high-frequency radar sensor modules, 5G and 6G antenna-in-package (AiP) front-end modules as well as RF packaging structures, interposers and system-boards, especially for sensing, communication, computing and security applications.

To support this team, we are looking for a Bachelor's or Master's student in the field of high-frequency design.

What you will do

• Literature review on state of the art in high-frequency design of selected structures in electronic packaging (e.g. transmission lines, vias, solder balls) for high performance computing (HPC), radar sensing or wireless communication (e.g. 6G) applications
• Electromagnetic modeling, simulation and layout of selected electronic packaging structures
• High-frequency measurement of packaging structures and documentation of results

What you bring to the table

• You are studying electrical engineering, physics or a comparable subject
• Interest in high frequency/microwave engineering
• Willingness to learn, flexibility and a solution-orientated way of working
• Independent and structured working method
• Ability to work in a team and strong communication skills
• Good knowledge of German and/or English language
• Flexible design options to suit the study plan

What you can expect

• Introduction to electromagnetic modeling, simulation, layout and measurement of electronic packaging structures
• Very good supervision of your thesis
• Open and collegial working environment
• State-of-the-art laboratory equipment and software tools for high-frequency design, test and characterization up to 500 GHz
• Opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research and development projects with national and international partners

This position is initially limited to six months, but we are interested in long-term employment. The working hours are 40-80 hours per month. 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. 32884
