Research Associate - Reconfigurable High-Frequency and Array Systems | Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in (m/w/d) - Rekonfigurierbare Hochfrequenz- und Array-Systeme

Job Summary

This role involves cutting-edge research and development of novel Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) within the Fraunhofer-Attract project "JCAS-PRISM," focusing on integrating 6G Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) systems. The successful candidate will be responsible for the conceptualization, electromagnetic simulation, optimization, and realization of RIS structures, contributing to adaptive 6G wireless systems that enhance efficiency and environmental sensing. Day-to-day tasks include designing and building RIS prototypes, selecting materials, managing fabrication processes, and integrating these structures into communication and radar systems. This position requires a strong background in high-frequency engineering, proficiency in electromagnetic simulation tools (CST, HFSS, COMSOL), and programming skills (Python/MATLAB). The associate will also supervise students and publish research findings in high-ranking international conferences, making this an excellent opportunity for career growth and scientific visibility.
