The design engineer will be responsible for developing and implementing microwave/radio frequency and/or electromagnetic characterisation equipment.
|
Activities |
Supported and trained by the platform's engineers, the candidate will be responsible for the following activities:
- Carry out microwave/radio frequency and/or electromagnetic measurements on existing test benches
- Developing experimental set-ups; defining, developing, testing and formalising protocols.
- Work in collaboration with researchers/teaching researchers and doctoral/post-doctoral students
- Manage a fleet of equipment and plan its use |
Qualifications: |
The candidate must have skills from the following list:
Knowledge
- Notions/knowledge of electronics/microelectronics.
- General knowledge of electronic instrumentation: current-voltage measurements, generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, vector network analysers, etc.
Know how
- Knowledge of office software (word processing, spreadsheets)
- A programming language would be appreciated (LabView, Python, Matlab...)
- English: understanding technical data sheets
Knowing how to be
- Knowing how to work in a team

Context: |
The engineer will be assigned to PCMP1, which is managed by a team of 11 people spread over 4 technical divisions. The engineer will have the opportunity to join one of the following two divisions:
the CHOP centre, located in the IEMN's central laboratory and staffed by a team of 3 engineers. This department is responsible for hosting research projects and training students and researchers in the fields of microwave, optical and photonic measurements. Its activities cover the characterisation of electronic components (transistors, diodes) from DC to TeraHertz frequencies, mainly using sub-peaking stations and microscopes.
IEMN's C2EM centre, located in the P3 building on campus, with a team of 2 engineers. This joint service has measuring instruments for electromagnetic characterisation in anechoic chambers (antennas, EMC) or in the field (channel sounder). The centre also has an electronic prototyping activity.
The IEMN is a joint research unit with a staff of 450. The activities of its 22 research groups are focused on micro and nanotechnologies, for applications in the fields of health, transport, communications and information. Its technological resources are organised into 2 major platforms of the highest European standard: a micro and nanofabrication platform and a characterisation platform. These platforms are designed to host both internal and external academic and industrial projects.
This position is located in a protected sector for the Protection of Scientific and Technical Potential and therefore requires authorisation from the competent authority of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, in accordance with the regulations. |
