Introduction
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team in the field of mixed-signal IC design focusing on the implementation of sense to compute paradigm. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in circuit design and experience with the IC design tapeout flow.
Job Description
The NanoComputing Research Lab in Integrated Circuits (IC) group within the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a leading research group dedicated to pushing the boundaries of knowledge in the field of physic-based computing. We are currently seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team to work on the design and implementation of Oscillatory Neural Networks (ONNs) for physics-based computing applications. You as the candidate will be an integral part of the prestigious NWO AiNED AI-on-ONN project on harnessing the unique capabilities of ONNs for sense and compute. ONNs inspired by the dynamics of coupled oscillators exhibit inherent properties that enable efficient problem-solving through energy this project you will further explore and exploit the potential of ONNs performing sense and compute functions. Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Design and develop analog circuits for implementing ONNs for computing.
- Modeling simulate and benchmark different computing tasks such as sensor data processing.
- Explore ONN implementation topology and its energy efficiency.
- Conduct comparison with experimental validations of circuit designs.
- Collaborate with team members in NanoComputing Research Lab.
- Communicate clearly both written and verbal.
- Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at international conferences.
Job Requirements
- A masters degree in electrical engineering computer Engineering or a related field.
- Strong background in mixed-signal circuit design and simulation.
- Familiarity with IC design tools and tapeout flow and proficiency in relevant software tools (e.g. SPICE Cadence MATLAB).
- A research-oriented attitude.
- Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and interested in collaborating with industrial partners.
- Fluent in spoken and written English.
Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful green campus within walking distance of the central train addition we offer you:
