Joining Mines Saint-Étienne means engaging with an institution where science and innovation build a more sustainable future. A school of excellence where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to addressing the challenges of tomorrow.

Ranked among the best engineering schools in France and recognized worldwide, our school, a member of the Institut Mines-Télécom, trains the talents of tomorrow while actively contributing to meeting major industrial, digital, and environmental challenges. With us, you will join a community of 500 employees, 2500 students, and participate in an ambitious project: combining academic excellence, cutting-edge research, and positive societal impact.

The Institut Mines-Télécom federates French grandes écoles around major industrial, digital, energy, and ecological challenges. With its 8 public grandes écoles and 2 affiliated schools, it is the leading public institute dedicated to engineers and managers. Together, we imagine and build a sustainable future, training the actors who will shape the transitions of tomorrow.

🎯 What we expect from you

As an Autonomous Stretchable Systems Designer, you are at the heart of our missions in training, research, and innovation, assigned to the flexible electronics department. Within this department, you will combine scientific passion with a taste for innovation.

Within the Provence Microelectronics Center, the FEL department conducts research in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics for applications dedicated to "wearable" objects and environmental "monitoring." The design of complete systems, from sensor to communication module, according to energy and environmental constraints, is an essential element for the realization of prototypes compatible with the use cases studied.

Your main mission will be, based on the department's know-how, to develop electronic expertise in the field of autonomous / self-powered objects for environmental monitoring (Hydrademo Project) and "wearable" interfaces for augmented perception (flexeo3D Project). Furthermore, you will contribute to the development of training modules for specialized master's programs, as part of the EDU4chip program.

· You will support the development of autonomous systems within various departmental projects.

· You will contribute to the setup and delivery of a teaching module on autonomous systems design (25 hours) for students in the specialized master's program "Microelectronic Circuit Designer.".

· You will be responsible for the design and implementation of specific sensor and energy interfaces for our system demonstrators.

· You will participate in the creation and testing of innovative prototypes in close collaboration with our research teams.

Your ability to work in a project mode and to bridge teaching, research, and concrete application will be essential for success.

🔍 What we are looking for

You hold a:

· PhD or Engineering degree or equivalent in electronics.

· Junior accepted: yes, if relevant experience during internships.

In addition, you possess:

• Experience in the development of microcontroller-based systems.

• Practical experience in the design and realization of electronic boards.

• Good knowledge of analog electronics.

• Knowledge of electronic integration processes on flexible substrates would be a plus.

Your additional assets:

• Your practical sense and "maker" spirit.

• Your ability to thrive in a collaborative research and development environment.

• Your autonomy and initiative.
