VTT is one of the leading applied research organisations in Europe. What unites us are curiosity, a passion for learning and a purpose: to solve the biggest challenges of our time and turn them into sustainable growth and well-being. Our cross-disciplinary community of over 2300 brilliant minds from almost 60 different nationalities is focused on creating impact through science-based innovation. Get to know us further by exploring VTT's tech & infra.
VTT started a Postdoc programme in 2023 to develop new ways to support scientific excellence and to strengthen career paths from universities to VTT. We want to provide development opportunities for recent university PhDs in applied research and industry collaboration. As a Postdoctoral Researcher at VTT, you are able to make an impact on our customers and society. Our researchers work closely together with industry, often in interdisciplinary research groups. VTT has excellent research infrastructure and internal services to support your research work.
With a strong background in integrated circuit design in analog/RFIC domain, as a postdoctoral researcher at VTT, you will have an essential role of developing and carrying research in RFIC design. You identify and solve problems independently and creatively, while working closely and flexibly with a team of experts. You focus on the design but also integrating the IC in part of a larger system and contribute to the packaging aspects of the RFIC and MMICs.
Our team develops components and sub-systems for applications ranging from cryogenically cooled quantum computing readout and control circuits to large THz phased-array antennas for 6G wireless systems. We cover all abstraction levels of IC design and characterization from component level to system level using silicon (CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS) and III-V (InP, GaAs and GaN) technologies. The developments are made in close collaboration with our industrial, research institute and academic partners.
Please send your CV and application via our recruitment system as soon as possible but at the latest by 30 September 2024. We will process applications as they come in, and fill in the position as soon as we find the right candidate. A security clearance procedure may be conducted during the recruitment process.
