Beschreibung

Combine your scientific interest and technical skills in the field of electrical engineering to create new knowledge for the socially and scientifically relevant areas of information, energy and bioeconomy.

We offer you all of this at the Central Institute of Engineering, Electronics and Analytics - Electronic Systems (ZEA-2) with modelling, designing and developing the most innovative system solutions for science and society.

Your Job:

Our team is working on integrated circuits (ICs) which combine analog and digital components from modern CMOS technologies.

One research focus within the NEUROTEC II research project is the development of ICs for novel computing devices using memristive elements to advance into the Beyond Moore computing regime.

For that, we research on the co-integration of memristors onto commercial CMOS processes, creating a memristive computing system with heterogeneous neuromorphic accelerators on a single die.

The focus of this doctoral work will be to develop and establish a pre-silicon verification environment using the universal verification methodology (UVM) for the heterogeneous architecture of a neuromorphic accelerator.

Specific tasks are:

Develop a verification environment based on UVM principles for the NEUROTEC II demonstrator chips
Include analogmixedsignal (AMS) elements into the environment with the novel UVM-AMS extension
Integrate the novel memristor devices developed within NEUROTEC II with custom models
Accompany the integrated circuit development process towards the demonstrator chips and ensure the reliability of the design in a modern 28 nm CMOS technology

Your Profile:

Master degree or comparable in electrical engineering, physics or similar fields
General proficiency with the UVM concepts and implementation in SystemVerilog
First experience with integrated CMOS circuit design, especially digital circuits
Basic knowledge in digital circuit description (VHDL or Verilog) and programming (C/C++, Python)
Good English capabilities and preferably good knowledge of German

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

Opportunity to work on highly relevant engineering challenges with state-of-the-art technologies
General support on extending scientific topics into startup companies
Continuous scientific mentoring by your scientific advisor as well as a close integration in the international research group
Publishing and presenting your work in (international) conferences and project meetings
Acquiring skills, demanded equally by academia and hightech companies worldwide
Flexible working hours and the possibility to partially work from home
Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
