Postdoctoral Researcher in Analog building block design and procedural circuit optimization with Berkeley Analog Generator

Espoo

November 7, 2024

The rumors about the death of Analog electronics are premature, as Analog just went Programmatic. If you are willing to learn how to design Analog microelectronics by developing optimization procedures for parametrized implementations with Python, here is an opportunity for you to join the programmatic hardware design activities of Aalto Microelectronics Research Center (https://metka.aalto.fi ).

Analog building blocks are needed in every piece of microelectronics and Systems-on-Chip, like digital circuitry and microprocessors. Programmatic design methodology aims to provide parametrized and procedurally optimized analog building blocks for these needs. Berkeley Analog Generator is a design environment recently developed in University of Berkeley which enables analog circuit design by programmatic means. In Aalto we are looking for pioneers with enthusiasm to learn to take this new methodology into use. If you want to be a game changer, this is your moment.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work with us on this area of research.

Successful execution of the work requires fluent unix working habits, Git version control, shell scripting and Python programming, complemented with doctoral level knowledge of analog design tools and methodology added with strong theoretical understanding about optimization algorithms. Topic focuses on implementation of analog building blocks for A/D converters, sensor interfaces, 5G mm Wave circuits, radio transmitters and receivers according to your preferences, within the scopes of our research projects. The position is appropriate for post-docs eager to learn, and willingness to develop the circuits and design methodologies of the future. Minimum entry criteria is D.Sc. or Ph D degree in microelectronics design and working proficiency in English.

We offer
The starting salary is approximately 4000 eur/month depending on the experience. The position will be filled for 1-3 years. The salary will be based on both the job requirements and the employee’s personal performance in accordance with the salary system of Finnish universities.
