Beschreibung

The Chair of Embedded Systems at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is looking for a

Research Associate (M/F/x) Design Automation for Reconfigurable Transistors for 2 years with 39,83 hours per week, TV-L E13:
Shrinking feature sizes has long been a major factor in improving CMOS circuit performance. This led to zero-effort performance gains in electronic circuit architecture in the past.

By approaching the power wall for current CMOS scaling factors we see an increased need for thermal management and the need to employ dark silicon schemes to provide both the necessary performance and utility at the same time.

In this project, we investigate the possibilities for reconfigurable transistors to reshape electronic circuit design to provide a higher functional density while maintaining sufficiently low power consumption.

To achieve this, we exploit unique properties like multiple gates per transistor next to their reconfigurability. We focus on a model-based approach to design a new standard cell library using probabilistic model checking.

In close collaboration with nanomaterials research, we refine our models to fit the projections and laboratory implementations of emerging technology devices.

extent:

- full-time
duration:

- temporary
beginning:

- as soon as possible ***:

develop new theoretical knowledge with the aim of expanding technology mapping skills to optimally exploit the characteristics of reconfigurable transistors;

- develop new findings in determining the properties of reconfigurable circuits using formal methods;
- develop a comprehensive approach for the structured and automatic construction and evaluate circuit libraries;
- develop automated procedures for quality assurance of reconfigurable circuits in comparison with conventional circuits;
- publish the works in international conferences and journals.

We aim at attracting the best talent in the respective research fields and expect the following:

an outstanding university degree (master's degree or equivalent) in computer science or electrical engineering;

- strong background in VLSI;
- good knowledge of EDA flow (standard cell libraries);
- familiarity with SPICE simulation;
- good understanding of formal methods and probabilistic model checking;
- good programming skills;
- very good interpersonal and communication skills; in particular, the ability to effectively work in collaborative research efforts;
- fluency in English - written and oral.

Our offerings:

- challenging and varied tasks with a high level of personal responsibility
- a qualified induction
- support from and cooperation with competent colleagues
- team-oriented cooperation in a committed, international and appreciative team
- extensive training and further education opportunities
