Intern / Student, Full or part-time · Aachen, Hybrid

About us
We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects. 
About our technology
The semiconductor industry’s growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude.    
   
In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution. 
The Role
We are seeking a motivated and passionate student (m/f/d) to join our research team as a Graphene Modeling Intern. The conducted research focuses on light detection using graphene as the active absorption material. The primary focus of this role is the optimization of the photodetector device that we are developing in terms of performance durability and large-scale productions. This can be achieved using either our in-house python tools or other open-source simulation packages. 
To join our team, you should be excited to:
  • Conduct research to find a unified framework for simulating the photodetector.
  • Integrate physical and electronic (RC) limiting factors into the simulation framework.
  • Utilize in-house tools or open-source packages for simulation tasks.
  • Analyze and interpret simulation results.
  • Collaborate with the research team to refine and validate the simulation framework.
  • Conduct literature reviews and research to stay updated on the latest developments in graphene modeling and related fields.
  • Document research findings and prepare technical reports/ research articles.
Your Qualifications:
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, or Master's in Physics, Engineering, or a related field with a strong focus on computational modeling.
  • Background in integrated photonics and light detection technologies.
  • Experience with Python programming language.
  • Knowledge of COMSOL Multiphysics or similar simulation software is a plus.
  • Passionate about conducting research and eager to contribute to the advancement of silicon light detection technologies.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to present complex information in a clear and concise manner.
  • English is a must, and German is a plus.
