Job description

Wireless Mobile networks are key enablers of our digital society, supporting all sectors, ranging from social media to industry, logistics, and healthcare. To handle the continuous exponential growth in data traffic combined with increasing requirements on latency, 6G mobile wireless networks and their devices are planned for deployment from 2030 onwards.

Two Ph.D. students will be involved in designing mm-wave trancseiver in advanced CMOS/SiGe technologies for 6G wireless communications, one will mostly focus on the transmitter architecture, design, impementaion and measurement and the other on the receiver side. The students should also act as a team and collaborate in the antenna interface design and demonstrating the mm-wave link.

Apply for this positions if

  • You already have a master degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics
  • You have solid background in analog, digital, mixed-mode and RF/mmwave circuits and systems.
  • You have some experience with ADS and Cadence.
  • You have some experience in measuring RF/mm-wave circuits and systems
  • You are self motivated student eager to work independently, expand knowledge in the field and able to plan and execute the project well.
  • have good written and verbal English skills.

    You will be jointly supervised by Dr. Morteza Alavi, Dr. Masoud Babaie, and Dr. Marco Spirito. Requirements

    You should have:

    • A master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science or related fields.
    • Background in RF design, mixed-mode signal design, digital design
    • Experience in radio frequency/wireless communications
    • Experience in programming languages including C/C++, Python, MATLAB, Cadense, ADS, Hspice
    • A good command of English (verbal and written).
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

      Challenge. Change. Impact Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

      The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
