Postdoctoral researcher

Project
PREP0004210
Overview

This PREP position focuses on developing traceable on-wafer standards for 5G, 6G, and beyond.
The position requires finite element simulations, programming, network analysis, dimensional
metrology, web-based programming, and other skills. The position will use on-wafer methods to
develop standards for mmWave industry to validate the authenticity of integrated circuits.

On-Wafer Standards (CHIPS Funded Project)

Qualifications
  • A PhD degree in Materials Science Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2 years of relevant experience with microelectronic fabrication.
  • Familiarity with programming in MATLAB and Python.
  • Experience with finite element simulations in ANSYS or COMSOL.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • U.S. Citizen Preferred
Research Proposal

Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
