Trainee Program – Mixed-Signal IC Design for RF integrated circuits (RFIC) (all genders) (Softwareentwickler/in)

Welcome to the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS! As the largest institute within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we have been conducting research for over 30 years in diverse fields such as artificial intelligence, microelectronics, sensor systems, data acquisition, signal processing, and signal transmission. Talented individuals from various engineering and natural science disciplines will find a wide range of exciting research topics under one roof. A few highlights that reflect our innovative strength include neuromorphic computing, 5G/6G mobile communication technologies, generative AI in speech and signal processing, and X-ray imaging for e-mobility. And that’s just the beginning! Be part of change In our** RFIC group**, we develop integrated radio frequency and mixed-signal circuits for a wide range of applications – from ultra-low-power wireless communication and localization systems to satellite communication and quantum computing. Our chips combine RF frontends with high-performance analog and digital building blocks on a single die: transceivers, frequency synthesizers, data converters, and the digital control and calibration logic that makes them work. These highly integrated solutions enable energy-efficient wireless sensor nodes, precise indoor localization systems, and robust communication links. Are you at the beginning of your career and enthusiastic about mixed-signal IC design? Then join our trainee program to learn directly from leading experts! What you will do As a trainee in our Mixed-Signal IC Design program, you will participate in a comprehensive introduction to mixed-signal circuit design within an RFIC environment, collaborating on real projects under the guidance of experienced engineers. You will gain hands-on experience in the design, simulation, layout, and verification of mixed-signal integrated circuits – for example data converters, PLLs and frequency synthesizers, bias and supply circuits, or digital calibration and co
