Offer Description

The ICTEAM institute of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) is actively seeking an electrical engineer to provide support to the measurement activities in its electrical characterization platform named WELCOME, and contribute to its development.

WELCOME is a state-of-the art technological platform providing multidisciplinary tools in the field of electrical and electromagnetic characterization. In WELCOME over one hundred of researchers perform thousands of hours of experiments per year. They benefit from a powerful range of equipment and an exceptional pool of expertise in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies, RF and microwave circuits, digital systems and VLSI architectures, cryptography, ultra-low power wireless sensors, signal propagation and wireless communications. This expertise also attracts numerous industrial collaborations and the infrastructure constantly performs measurement missions for external partners.

Due to several recent project wins, the WELCOME infrastructure is currently in an expanding phase and is acquiring several new pieces of equipment related to on-wafer device and circuit characterization. The WELCOME management team is therefore actively seeking a suitable candidate to provide support to measurement activities as well as contribute to the further development of the facilities. The selected candidate will work under the supervision of the WELCOME manager and interact daily with the users of WELCOME as well as the academic personnel in charge of the infrastructure.

Key responsibilities include:

  • provide support to the installation and handling of new measurement setups in WELCOME (on-wafer measurement setups, THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy test bench, …);
  • acquire the required know-how to adequately use the new measurement tools, establish new measurement procedures, and train new users;
  • provide support to WELCOME users by assisting and/or performing measurements;
  • contribute to the further development of the WELCOME platform (e.g., meeting with industrial partners and understanding their needs, attending international fairs, …).

Practical information:

Fixed length contract (until December 31st 2025, possibilities for extension), full time employment.

Starting date: ASAP.

Location: Louvain-la-Neuve.
