In the role of an ASIC / IC design flow support engineer at the Department of Microelectronics of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science of Delft University of Technology, you will be actively supporting students and university staff with the implementation of state-of-the-art electronic circuits and systems as integrated circuits. The department operates at the forefront of research related to: (5G) communication, (car) radars, smart (bio) sensors, bioelectronics, and analogue / digital / mixed-signal (VLSI) circuits. These circuits are typically conceived and implemented in advanced IC technology nodes.

As the design flow support engineer you will:

• Actively assist students and university staff with the design, simulation, implementation and verification/testing of analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits.
• Plan and support the related IC tape-outs with all consistency checks in a timely fashion.
• Support the design of (standard) IC cells such as pad rings, ESD, digital I/O and buffers for various technology nodes.
• Install and support ASIC/IC design cell libraries and PDKs (e.g. TSMC, AMS, XFAB).
• Maintain relations with various foundries and design centers (e.g. IMEC), as well as with EDA tool suppliers (e.g. Europractice).
• Assist in the related test PCB design, packaging and wire bond assembly of the implemented ASICs / ICs.

Your skills include:

• A strong team and learn-on-the-job mentality applied in a diverse international setting.
• Proficiency in English in both written and oral communication.
• Experience with or the desire to learn CAD tools such as Cadence, Tanner, Mentor and Synopsys.
• Knowledge of or the desire to learn operating systems, programming environments and (scripting) languages such as Unix, Matlab and Python.
• Experience with PCB design.
• The ambition to train students to become experts in  IC design and realization.

• BSc or MSc degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Familiar with analog, digital and/or RF circuit design.
• Interest in the physical design and verification of CMOS based semi- or full-custom integrated circuits (ASICs). 

• A salary (scale 9-11, depending on experience) according to the Collective Labor Agreement of the Dutch Universities, plus 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%
• An excellent pension scheme via the ABP.
• The possibility to compile an individual employment package every year.
• Discount with health insurers.
• Flexible working week.
• Every year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget.
• Plenty of opportunities for education, training and courses.
• Partially paid parental leave
• Attention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program.

Delft University of Technology

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context. At TU Delft we embrace diversity and aim to be as inclusive as possible (see our Code of Conduct). Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale.

Challenge. Change. Impact! 

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three disciplines - electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make future-proof. We are also working on a world in which humans and computers reinforce each other. We are mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. There is plenty of room here for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1,100 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
