Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork is one of Europe's leading research centres, specialising in ICT hardware research, with ca 420 staff, students and academic & industrial visiting researchers. Tyndall undertakes internationally-leading research into information and communications technology.
Tyndall uses its facilities and expertise to support industry and academia nationally and provides large numbers of highly qualified graduate students, key to the development of Ireland’s national economy. Tyndall has over 200 industry partnerships and customers worldwide. Several start up companies in Ireland have been based on technology originating at Tyndall. The Institute’s researchers include 125 PhD and 10 Masters students, and 38 nationalities are represented within the institute at all levels, with its research published in 200 peer reviewed publications last year.
The Photonics Centre at the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork invites applicants who will join established teams within the Photonic Centre, will carry out research in purpose-built photonic and microelectronic systems research facilities at Tyndall National Institute and will be involved in collaboration with other groups in Tyndall and elsewhere. Training opportunities will be provided to acquire additional experimental, circuit design and numerical research skills as appropriate.
The position, which is available starting Jan. 2013 for a period of two years, is funded by the Microelectronics Competence Centre Ireland (www.mcci.ie) and Enterprise Ireland. The candidate’s main task will involve the design of the analogue front-ends such as laser drivers (including automatic power control) and transimpedance amplifiers (including automatic gain control). The candidate will also be expected to work closely with the researchers of the Optical Integration Group to facilitate integration of the chips in working modules, as well as with other members of the Photonic Systems Group to facilitate testing of the chips and modules, and their integration into large-scale system test-beds.
The candidate will hold a PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering with ideally a few years postdoctoral experience. He or she will have a strong interest, knowledge and experience (including published research papers and a proven track record in the design of successful silicon) in the following areas:
A strong background in high-speed analogue circuit design, specifically in areas
related to fibre-optics. For example, experience of the design of circuits such as transimpedance amplifiers, drivers and clock-and-data recovery circuits (VCOs, PLLs) will be considered advantageous,
Experience with all the main software tools required for high-speed integrated circuit design and modeling such as Cadence and Mentor Graphics Calibre tools, HFSS or ADS Momentum, Matlab
Minimum years’ experience 1-2 years.
