Research Associate (m/f/d): NanoWired Integration and Packaging Coordination

2026-04-22T14:47:36+02:00

Why this role matters
This position sits at the interface of NanoWired-based low-temperature bonding, advanced packaging, sensor integration, characterization, and open design enablement.
You will help translate technically demanding research results into clear requirements, demonstrator concepts, structured engineering input, and reusable ADK-relevant content. In doing so, you will work closely with internal expert teams in ADK, electrical/RF characterization, sensor integration, packaging, and cleanroom processing, as well as with international partners in Taiwan.
The role combines technical coordination and requirements-transfer tasks from the projects BioBond-AL and ODE4EC-DIG, with a focus on NanoWired integration, packaging and integration constraints, demonstrator support, and reusable engineering input for design enablement.
A mandatory part of this role is project-related work in Taiwan with a total duration of 6 months.

Your mission
You will strengthen the technical coordination between project work, demonstrator implementation, internal expert teams, and external partners. The role is intended for someone who can understand technically demanding topics, structure them clearly, and turn them into robust, usable engineering input.
This is neither a pure hands-on ADK development role nor an operational measurement position. Instead, the role focuses on technical interface work, requirements consolidation, demonstrator-oriented design support, and the transfer of project results into reusable technical artefacts.

Your responsibilities

Derive, structure, and maintain technical requirements, constraints, and decision material for NanoWired integration, advanced packaging, sensor integration, and design-enablement-related topics

Consolidate technical input from BioBond-AL and ODE4EC-DIG and prepare it as usable input for the internal ADK team

Coordinate technical questions, requirements, and feedback loops between the project teams and the internal ADK and electrical/RF characterization teams

Support the preparation of simple demonstrator-oriented layouts, test structures, and interposer-related design elements required for the validation of packaging and characterization concepts

Coordinate the implementation of such structures in close collaboration with the DSE team and the
responsible cleanroom and process experts

Work with internal experts in sensor systems, packaging, integration, and characterization to derive
consistent and practically usable technical requirements

Consolidate results from joining, characterization, demonstrator evaluation, and integration studies into structured specifications and technical documentation

Assess and document trade-offs, interface constraints, risks, acceptance criteria, and implementation
boundaries in a structured and traceable way

Support the transfer of project results into ADK-relevant artefacts, technical guidelines, datasets, and other reusable engineering outputs

Contribute to project-related reporting, workshops, dissemination activities, and technical coordination with national and international partners

Support the technical coordination of cooperation activities with project partners in Taiwan
