Job Description

We are looking for a Research Fellow for the OUTSMART Corp Lab led by Professor Massimo Alioto, at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS).

The selected candidate is expected to:

  • circuit exploration of near-PCM and in-memory SRAM computing macros, and related models
  • experimental validation of computing and memory macros and their support of similarity/confidence-based computation skipping, and dataflow adaptation
  • experimental validation of test structures with dataflow adaptation in single chip, high memory-logic interspersion
  • experimental validation of chiplet interfaces and synchronization, test structures with final memory-logic aggregation, and dataflow adaptation across chiplets
  • experimental validation of final testchip in single- and many-chiplet arrangement
  • experimental validation of final testchip in single-chiplet arrangement
  • authoring high-quality research papers for leading conferences and journals and presenting findings at international conferences.
  • managing technical milestones for the project and providing technical guidance to PhD and master’s students within the group.

The appointment can commence immediately with a 1-year contract, with prospect of extension. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Qualifications

The candidate must possess:

  • a PhD degree in either Electrical Engineering or strictly related (e.g., Computer, Electronics, Communication, or Information Engineering).
  • Knowledge on circuit architectures, transistor-level design.
  • Knowledge on silicon chip design, EDA tools.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills.
  • open to fixed term contract.
