vor 2 Monaten


Munich, Deutschland Infineon Technologies Vollzeit

The tasks within the thesis will consist of:

- Collaboration with expert designers to **create procedural generators for necessary **analog components**: voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), low-dropout regulators, ULP oscillators, and ADC converters
- **Invention or adaptation of an existing algorithm **for constrained floor-planning including placement and routing at the transistor level
- **Creation or adaptation of an algorithm **for the electrical performance and floor-planning optimization on the target layout

A doctoral student is a research enthusiast,

›who enjoys working in an industrial environment in combination with an Infineon partner university.

›who appreciates open communication and the contribution of an international environment.
- Graduated with excellent results in **Informatics, Electrical Engineering or Physics**:

- Possess **good programming skills **, the target languages are **C/C++, Python, and Cadence Skill**:

- Already gained knowledge of **computer science algorithms and numerical methods**:

- Bring reasonable knowledge of **graph theory**:

- Enjoy **working independently **, **breaking-down problems **, investing time in **research **, and coming up with **solutions**:

- Are a **good communicator **and are **curious to collaborate with various stakeholders **in different environments

Know-how in following topics is preferable - but not mandatory
- You have taken university courses in analog circuit design and physical synthesis (layout), and have a reasonable understanding of the topic

In our headquarters in Neubiberg near Munich, more than 6000 employees are working in research & development, several central functions, IT and many more.
