Develop CMOS circuits for next-generation Coriolis and thermal flow sensors at TU Delft, combining analog circuit design with MEMS technology.
Job description In this postdoc position at TU Delft, you will conduct research into CMOS circuits for next-generation MEMS flow sensors, focusing on Coriolis and thermal sensing technologies. You will investigate how sensor physics and analog circuit design can be combined to develop innovative solutions for accurate and effective flow measurement. Your work will involve experimental research, circuit design and simulation. You will explore the interaction between MEMS sensor dynamics, heat transfer and electronic readout circuits, contributing to the development of new sensor systems. You will join a research environment where you can contribute your chip-design expertise to innovative sensor technology. You will independently conduct research, evaluate results and communicate your findings through scientific publications and presentations. Job requirements You hold a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. You have demonstrable experience in integrated circuit (IC) design, evidenced by at least one publication in an IEEE journal on circuit design, such as the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) or IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems (TCAS). You have a solid understanding of analog circuit design and sensor-based systems. You have a strong understanding of sensor physics, particularly MEMS dynamics and heat transfer. You can independently conduct experimental and simulation-based research. You communicate scientific findings clearly through writing and presentations. You have an excellent command of written and spoken English. TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) Working at TU Delft means contributing to solutions that really make a difference. For over 180 years, we have been training engineers who make an impact worldwide in companies, government bodies, or as entrepreneurs. Our alumni turn knowledge into concrete solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow. These challenges are changing rapidly. That is why we focus on themes such as energy, climate, digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart mobility every day. Our education and research are directly aligned with what society needs now and in the future. At TU Delft, our people make the difference. With their knowledge and curiosity, our staff provide a high-quality education and conduct pioneering research that extends beyond the campus. You will have the opportunity to take the initiative, work with others, and grow as a professional. Working at TU Delft means join an international community of professionals and students. Together, we create knowledge, innovations, and solutions that help move the world forward. Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
