Job Description

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of power electronics and integrated circuit design? We're looking for a driven postdoctoral researcher ready to make a real impact on the future of high voltage integrated circuits, with a particular focus on Power ICs and power module integration.

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a highly interdisciplinary environment, working closely within the electronics research group, and contributing to the advancement of next-generation heterogeneously integrated power modules. The project spans power module architecture, advanced packaging, electro-thermal modelling, integrated gate driver IC design, and experimental validation.

Responsibilities and qualifications

You'll be a core contributor to a project that spans the full arc from architecture to validation.

The successful candidate will be expected to:

• Define system-level specifications including voltage/current ratings, switching frequency targets, and thermal budgets in alignment with application requirements.
• Evaluate and select optimal fabrication technologies and IC process nodes to achieve target power module performance.
• Perform transistor-level circuit design, including noise, mismatch, process corner, and Monte Carlo analyses.
• Undertake IC layout, physical verification, and tapeout preparation.
• Carry out laboratory measurements and silicon validation of designed circuits.
• Disseminate results through high-impact publications and active participation in international conferences.

Candidates should hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering with specialization in analog/mixed-signal IC design. Further qualifications include:

• Documented experience in analog circuit design and layout in commercial CMOS processes.
• Proven expertise in high-voltage analog or mixed-signal IC design in commercial CMOS or BCD processes.
• Proven track record with tapeout and silicon validation.

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
