Research Fellow (IC Design and EDA)

We are looking for a Research Fellow to focus on open-source processor and accelerator architectures. The role focuses on advancing research in integrated circuit (IC) design and electronic design automation (EDA), with particular emphasis on RISC-V based processors, AI accelerators, and open-source hardware toolchains.

Requirements

• Conduct independent and collaborative research on open-source processor architectures and hardware accelerators
• Design, implement, and evaluate digital ICs using Verilog/SystemVerilog and related hardware description languages
• Develop and optimize EDA workflows for processor and accelerator design, verification, and physical implementation using open-source tools
• Explore architecture-algorithm co-design for machine learning and AI acceleration
• Perform performance, power, and area (PPA) analysis of processor and accelerator designs
• Publish research findings in top-tier conferences and journals and contribute to open-source hardware and EDA communities
• Supervise and mentor PhD students, junior Research Assistants, and Master students
• Collaborate with faculty members, graduate students, and external partners, and support research project execution and reporting

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits
