Join the Tera-Hertz Sensing Group to develop next-generation THz imaging cameras in advanced silicon technologies. Your work will push the boundaries of high-frequency sensing and integrated EM design.
Job description
In the Tera-Hertz Sensing (TS) Group at TU Delft, you will contribute to the development of THz imaging cameras fabricated in state-of-the-art silicon technology. These cameras enable new scientific and industrial sensing applications, and your work will directly advance the performance and integration of THz detector systems.
You will design and implement detector circuits using commercial electronic design libraries, combining high-frequency circuit techniques with the constraints of silicon processes. In parallel, you will develop on-chip antenna structures, performing full-wave EM simulations and translating these designs into manufacturable layouts. Your work bridges circuit design, electromagnetic modeling, quasi-optical system analysis and hands-on validation.
A key part of your role is the realization of experimental demonstrations. You will prepare measurement setups, perform high-frequency characterisation of passive and active components, and analyse system-level performance. You will collaborate closely with researchers in the TS Group and contribute to joint publications, presentations and dissemination of results.
This position offers access to advanced simulation tools, dedicated THz measurement equipment and an active research environment with PhD candidates and senior scientists working across sensing technologies. You will be encouraged to contribute your ideas, develop new concepts and support ongoing research directions in THz imaging and integrated sensing systems.
Job requirements
- You hold a PhD in electromagnetic engineering, circuit design or another relevant field involving THz or high-frequency technologies.
- You are proficient in EM simulation using CST for antenna and quasi-optical system analysis.
- You have experience with circuit-level simulations using Cadence or comparable design environments.
- You have demonstrated skills in high-frequency measurements of passive and active components.
- You are comfortable working across circuit design, EM modeling and experimental validation.
- You work effectively in a research team and communicate clearly in an international academic environment.
- You show initiative, curiosity and a strong motivation to advance THz sensing technology.
TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.
At TU Delft we embrace diversity as one of our core values and we actively engage to be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.
Challenge. Change. Impact!
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future?'proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment - which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground?'breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
