  • Design the circuits for the chosen architecture and prove the performance in simulation.

  • If time allows, make a testchip to prove the performance on silicon.

What’s in it for you?

  • Join forces in developing IC’s according to the highest standards

  • Build up experience in collaborating with international teams and stakeholders

  • Ability to develop your engineering and communication skills

  • Working together with experienced members of the team

Your Profile

  • Master student in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

  • Good understanding of Matlab, common design environments and eager to learn new methods and tools
