The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft currently operates 75 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, located in Erlangen, is the largest institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft with more than 1 200 employees.

Welcome to the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS , headquartered in Erlangen! 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! What sustainable solution will you find with us?

Here's how you will make a difference

In the department »Integrated Circuits and Systems« at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, we develop customized solutions in the field of mixed-signal ASIC design for industrial, communications, and automotive applications. We also focus on innovative design approaches for increasingly complex electronic systems. Within the RFIC Design Group , we create application-specific integrated RF IPs and ASICs operating at frequencies of up to 30 GHz. These circuits are fabricated in collaboration with commercial semiconductor vendors using state-of-the-art silicon CMOS technologies down to 22 nm, as well as SiGe BiCMOS processes. Currently, we are developing an integrated receiver ASIC with an ultra-low power consumption of less than 10 microwatts.

• Comprehensive Introduction : You participate in comprehensive introduction a to Analog IC and RFIC Design.
• Real Project Collaboration : You collaborate on real projects under the guidance of experienced engineers.
• Hands-On Experience : You gain hands-on experience using industry-standard tools and methodologies.
• Hands-on Circuit Design : You support the design and development of RF and analog ASICs with a focus on performance optimization and low power consumption.
• Layout Support : You assist in the layout of analog and RF IC blocks, ensuring design rule compliance and layout efficiency.
• Cross-Team Collaboration : You collaborate with other teams such as System Design and Test Engineering and digital design, fostering a collaborative work environment and gaining exposure to various aspects of semiconductor design.
