Research Associate

The department **simulation of semiconductor technologies** develops and optimizes novel fabrication processes for semiconductor
- and nano-technology based on computer models. We employ numerical and atomistic modeling to cover all relevant scales of the processes from the atom to the wafer.

To expand our team, we are looking for **a research associate** in the field of **simulation of plasma etching processes** to start as soon as possible.

**What you will do**

Your tasks will be varied and diverse, with a focus on the following points:

- Independent research and development work on modeling and simulation of plasma etching processes
- Implementation of plasma processing models on multiple scales, from global plasma models to particle-based local interaction models
- Independent research on novel simulation approaches related to plasma etching and general integration technologies
- Project-related documentation and reporting, preparation of scientific publications and participation in international conferences
- Cooperation with internal and external partners and customers
- Contribution to the acquisition of future projects

**What you bring to the table**
- You have a university degree (Master's / Diploma) in physics, material science, electrical engineering or a comparable course of study.
- You have solid knowledge and experience in numerical simulation.
- You also have experiences in scientific computing, especially in using python on HPC-systems.
- Background in semiconductor or nanotechnology is desirable.
- Experiences in modeling of semiconductor or nanotechnology processes, especially in plasma-processing are of advantage.
- You are an efficient team player with a focused and independent working style.
- You act in a goal-oriented and responsible manner and are strong in communication and assertiveness.
- Good written and spoken German and English skills complete your profile.

**What you can expect**
- an exciting and interdisciplinary working environment with responsibility and room for your ideas
- an open, motivated team, flat hierarchies and state-of-the-art technical equipment
- a corporate culture characterized by collegiality
- an attractive salary package with special annual payment in accordance with TVöD Bund, 30 vacation days, job ticket and company pension scheme (VBL)
- a wide range of training and qualification opportunities as well as the option of a PhD
- optimal work-life balance through flexible working hours and various benefits (e. g. remote working) to help combine work and private life
