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

Required

• Master’s degree, Diplom, or equivalent university degree in electrical engineering, microsystems
  engineering, physics, materials science, or a related technical/scientific field
• Strong organisational and communication skills and enthusiasm for coordinating interdisciplinary technical work
• Strong interest in microelectronics integration, advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration, sensororiented system integration, and open design enablement
• Ability to understand complex technical topics quickly and translate them into clear requirements,
  specifications, and structured decision material
• Sound technical understanding of bonding- and integration-relevant interface topics in microelectronics, including the ability to follow discussions on surface preparation, oxide-related effects, and metallization adaptations for NanoWired-based integration, and to translate such input into practical requirements and technical documentation
• Very good command of English, both written and spoken
• Willingness to undertake mandatory project-related stays in Taiwan with a total duration of 6 months

Advantageous

• Basic understanding of reliability and qualification approaches such as thermal cycling, humidity, or
  electromigration
• Basic understanding of electrical and RF characterization and typical measurement and data flows
• Initial experience with simple layout, test-structure, demonstrator, or interposer-related design tasks
• Interest in NanoWired-based low-temperature bonding and its use in sensor-related or heterogeneous integration scenarios
• Experience in requirements engineering, structured technical documentation, or coordination of research and development projects
• Experience working in interdisciplinary or international teams

You are a strong team player with a structured and reliable way of working. You enjoy bringing order to complex technical topics, interacting with different expert groups, and helping translate research results into concrete technical outputs.
