Your chance to go beyond the state-of-the-art and drive innovation in custom Analog IC Design for Health and Life Science applications! 

Imec offers you a place to deploy your talents. We are performing advanced research in several high-end applications, where the development of state-of-the-art integrated circuits is a key enabler. Our projects are executed in close collaboration with industry partners, and often cover the complete field from applications to architecture concepts, circuit specs, down to final implementation and demonstration. We are also very involved and visible in the scientific and academic community, engage PhD students in our research, and publish our results in top conferences and journals, allowing our researchers to grow in their career and collaborate with other institutes. 

To help push the frontiers of analog and mixed signal circuits and devices, we are looking for a new colleague to join us in the Health and Life Sciences domain.  

What you will do

As a Researcher Analog Circuit Design, your key responsibilities will be:  

• Design innovative and high-performance integrated circuits focusing on a.o. implantable therapeutics, nerve stimulation and wireless power transfer. This includes blocks like sensor readouts, ADCs for medical applications, instrumentation amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, analog filtering, programmable gain amplifiers, etc.  
• Driving the bottom-up evolution of designs taking technology scaling into account. 
• Together with the team, bringing new ideas and new technical methods to life, based on your solid technical experience. 
• Interacting technically with external partners as part of an existing collaboration or towards new partners. 
• Publishing your state-of-the-art research results in international conferences and journals. 

What we do for you

By joining imec in Eindhoven, you will be part of a team of disruptive innovators and thinkers. Together, with our Researchers and Engineers, you will work on implants and companions for artificial organs to develop building blocks for autonomous closed-loop care. We invite you to be part of our ambitious team where your ideas will have an impact on our society and our future lives. 

Imec The Netherlands, as an employer of choice, offers you an attractive compensation and benefits package including a 100% employer-paid pension plan and flexible working hours. Furthermore, imec-NL offers a wide range of training possibilities. For international candidates, we provide support in the relocation process.
