About this position

Radar systems are indispensable in the modern world. Whether for naval vessels, military drones or self-driving vehicles, radars provide a reliable picture of the environment, day and night and in all weather conditions. TNO possesses exceptional knowledge in the field of radar technology. If you are up to being challenged in an environment that is among the top in the world and if you are excited at the prospect of working with experienced colleagues on the design of ICs for RF and microwave sensors: then this might be your chance! We offer a stimulating environment with world-renowned experts and career opportunities that match what you do best - today and in the future. You could work at the Radar Technology department within the Defence, Safety and Security unit of TNO.

What will be your role?

At our department, we passionately work on technological breakthroughs for state-of-the-art RF sensor systems. The Radar Technology team comprises skilled professionals from all the key areas needed to develop state-of-the-art radars. Within the department, we are divided in expertise groups that combine the knowledge from EM/antennas, RF modules, IC design and signal processing. For more information on our Radar department go to Radar Technology or TNO Radar - YouTube .
In the MMIC expertise group, we translate theoretical concepts into practical systems to prove the concept and show the added value to the end user. Our focal point is on designs for future electronically scanned array antennas for naval radar applications. We define, design and characterise ICs in various technologies in co-operation with our partners. The challenging requirements in performance and size, weight and power (SWaP) make it that we need to exceed any standard solutions and design for the most technically advanced ICs.
As a member of the MMIC team, your everyday work will include designing circuits using PDK models and sometimes our own models; characterisation and modelling of components, and performing (non-linear) circuit and EM simulations, including lay-out. Our designs are microwave ICs and mixed signal ICs (1-40 GHz) and we focus on solutions implemented in GaN, GaAs and SiGe BiCMOS technologies.


What we expect from you

  • At least a Master degree in Electrical Engineering;
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
  • A genuine passion and interest in (Radar)technology and circuit design complemented;
  • Proven experience doing analogue circuit design in (Bi)CMOS and/or III-V semiconductors, with a preference for, at least, five years of experience;
  • Hands-on experience with Cadence IC design, lay-out and verification tooling and/or hands-on experience with ADS design tooling;
  • Proactive team player that communicates easily with colleagues from different areas of expertise;
  • Passionately driven to realise working products;
  • Can translate challenging requirements into practical design solutions and make circuit blocks work in their envisioned environment;
  • Willing to think beyond the chip level, i.e. think about the radar as a whole and the role of the MMICs to be developed in that scope;
  • Can discuss design and technologies trade-offs at a higher level with the team;
  • Works minimally 3 days in the office (The Hague) for interaction with the design team and Radar Technology colleagues.

What you'll get in return

Challenging and varied work with a real impact. And plenty of opportunities as, at TNO, you are in charge of shaping your career. We offer a gross monthly salary between € 5.365,- and € 7.703,- (based on your knowledge and experience), 8% holiday pay, a 13th month bonus of 8.33% and a flex budget (5.58% + € 180).
