#WeAreIn to create tiny chips and big careers. Curiosity drives progress. Will you drive it with us? As a PhD at Infineon, you'll collaborate with passionate minds, shape innovations that power tomorrow's world, and build a career where your expertise truly makes a difference. Are you in?
Your Role
As an industrial doctorate at Infineon, you will pursue a doctoral degree at a University and gain professional experience simultaneously - an ideal start for your career. Advance your research with us and profit from our vast network of doctoral candidates and the expertise of a university. Mentorship is handled by both professors and dedicated Infineon employees. The research is carried out in cooperation with the Leibniz University Hannover and under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tanja Mehlstäubler.
We are offering a doctoral thesis dealing with the miniaturization of control electronics for optical clocks based on trapped ions in collaboration with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) Braunschweig. Optical clocks based on trapped ions hold significant potential for next-generation satellite-based navigation systems, communication, and geodetic measurements. As the realization of a transportable optical clock requires the rigorous miniaturization of all constituent optical and electronic subsystems, this PhD thesis focuses on replacing bulky, rack-based control electronics with integrated circuits.
