About this position
Master Thesis Opportunity at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Peter Grünberg Institute – Integrated Computing Architectures (PGI-4/ICA), in Jülich, Germany.
This interdisciplinary thesis focuses on cryogenic analog demultiplexer design for scalable electron-spin qubit control. The project sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, physics, quantum computing, and analog/mixed-signal integrated circuit design.
You will design, model, and simulate cryogenic control electronics for multi-qubit systems, with emphasis on minimizing wiring overhead, heat load, and noise at millikelvin temperatures. Planned work includes studying cryogenic transistor/switch/capacitor behavior, analyzing noise coupling into gate electrodes in Si/SiGe spin-qubit systems, building compact Python-based models for quantum-mechanical simulations, and evaluating demultiplexer and switch-capacitor topologies with circuit-level simulations and parasitics.
Eligibility highlights: Bachelor’s degree plus current enrollment in a Master’s program in electrical engineering, physics, or a closely related field; basic knowledge of device physics, analog/mixed-signal electronics, and Cadence Virtuoso; motivation for interdisciplinary work; Python and Git are helpful but optional. Very good English is required at B2 CEFR level or higher, ideally with a certificate.
Funding: This is a paid master thesis with appropriate remuneration. The institute also notes a possible path to a PhD after the thesis if qualifications and funding allow.
Application: Apply via the online application portal. The position is open until filled, so early application is advisable. Contact information and application guidance are provided in the posting.
Funding details
Paid master thesis with appropriate remuneration; the institute notes that if qualifications fit and funding is available, there may be an opportunity to continue with a PhD after the thesis.
What's required
Bachelor’s degree and current enrollment in a Master’s program in electrical engineering, physics, or a closely related field. Applicants should have a basic understanding of device physics, analog/mixed-signal electronics, and circuit design in Cadence Virtuoso. Motivation to work across disciplines at the interface of integrated-circuit design and quantum-technology requirements is expected. Basic knowledge of Python and Git is helpful but not required. Very good written and spoken English is required at least at B2 CEFR level, ideally supported by a language certificate; the post also states that missing requirements are not an automatic barrier and applicants may still apply.
