/ GREAT PLACE TO RESEARCH
First there is the team and the idea. There is plenty of room for both at SAL.
THE BIGGER THE CHALLENGE …
… the bigger our drive. We demonstrate new methods to each other in the team, think outside the box and expand our perspectives. We learn quickly from our experiences and measure ourselves against the best. We push each other and fire each other’s imagination in the team.
PLENTY OF ROOM FOR INNOVATIONS
Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) has been founded to be a top European research center for electronic-based systems. In the network of science and economy, we carry out research at a global level and create the basis of groundbreaking products and processes.
Pioneering spirit and lateral thinking wanted
Innovation is a top priority for us – and our researchers are too. Start your success story at SAL and discover the future with us.
THE SPIRIT OF RESEARCH – MORE THAN JUST A JOB
SAL is not just a place to work, it is a place where you can constantly develop yourself further. SAL is a great chance to shape the future with groundbreaking findings.
/ UNFOLD THE FUTURE WITH ELECTRONIC BASED SYSTEMS
With the research areas Sensor Systems, RF Systems, Power Electronics, System Integration and Embedded Systems, SAL is offering “key enabling technologies” for precisely these electronic based systems and is laying the basis for smart products and processes that create the foundations for things such as Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IOT), autonomous driving, cyber-physical systems (CPS), AI, smart cities, smart energy and smart health.
Research is carried out at both model level and hardware level (components, assemblies and devices with microelectronics and nanoelectronics) as well as the attendant embedded software level, in conjunction with the holistic knowledge of comprehensive system integration.
SENSOR SYSTEMS
Sensory organs of digital life
In the Sensor Systems research division, the team uses the basis of state-of-the-art technologies to work on different sensors that collect information from the environment, inspired by all five senses. From the multitude of sensors, it is important to find the optimum combination in order to use it, with the help of intelligent algorithms and recent developments, to expand the heterogeneous integration of smart sensor systems for various applications.
Enable wireless connectivity
In the RF Systems (RF – Radio Frequency) research division, everything is part of innovative solutions for wireless communication and radar technologies that cover the complete high-frequency spectrum – from the MHz range to the very high GHz range. In the wireless sensor networks area of research, there are strong ties with the Sensor Systems division.
Convert energy efficiently
In the Power Electronics research division, new, more-powerful solutions are researched for all types of electric energy transformers in all power classes, from the system and control design, through to switching structures and to integration methods and construction elements in new technologies.
Combine diverse technologies
The research area System Integration Technologies deals with the hardware part of system integration. In order to connect the individual components of an electronic system with each other, heterogeneous integration technologies, extensive knowledge of electromagnet compatibility testing and multiphysical system simulation are required.
Enable smart interaction
The research area Embedded Systems is inspired by the megatrend of things becoming more intelligent, connected, energy-efficient and sustainable. The growth of artificial intelligence beyond the cloud into the areas of edge computing and thus into embedded systems proves to be an important catalyst for this megatrend.
The headquarters of Silicon Austria Labs are located in the EBS Building at Campus TU Graz Inffeldgasse.
LINZ
The research center is located on the campus of Johannes Kepler University (JKU).
VILLACH
At the High Tech Campus Villach, SAL can optimally connect with technology companies, research and training institutions, start-ups and the Silicon Alps Cluster in one location.
