Job Description
We are looking for a Technical Specialist to lead chip design within Eurecat’s newly created Chips Division. This unit brings together the centre’s microelectronics capabilities to design, fabricate, and evaluate industry‑ready ASICs based on silicon and beyond‑silicon technologies.
In this role, you will help develop a modular, open‑source design framework for application‑specific sensors, integrating open‑source EDA tools (OpenLane, Magic, KLayout) and creating reusable building blocks optimized for printed‑electronics manufacturing.
Functions and Responsibilities
Design and validate an open‑source IC design flow adapted from silicon ASIC methodologies (OpenLane, Librelane) for different substrate constraints.
Develop a library of reusable, parametric building blocks for sensor front‑ends: transimpedance amplifiers, potentiostats, analog‑to‑digital converters, signal conditioning circuits, and low‑power wireless interfaces.
Implement and validate application‑specific sensor prototypes; follow up on the fabrication process and test the obtained IC.
Create comprehensive documentation, tutorials, and design templates to enable technology transfer to industrial partners.
Collaborate with fabrication facilities (IMB‑CNM, UAB, UPC, Smartkem, …) for iterative prototyping and manufacturing optimisation.
Publish results in peer‑reviewed journals and present them at international conferences on flexible electronics and biosensors.
Studies and Knowledge
BSc or Master in Nanoscience/Nanotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or similar.
Experience
Background in analog or digital circuit design, clean‑room fabrication processes, sensors.
Experience with circuit simulation (SPICE) and basic knowledge of digital design flows is highly valuable.
Valuable experience in VERILOG, VHDL, CADENCE.
Languages
Good communication skills in Spanish or Catalan and English.
