Job description:
- Research: You will conduct research at a high level of abstraction in the context of the aforementioned challenges, focusing on EDA methods with the goal of enabling future generations of electronics systems to be both more efficient and more complex. You will establish collaborations both within and outside KIT, for example, with the Baden-Württemberg Graduate Center ConnAIX.
Key focus areas: To achieve your research objectives, you will concentrate on the interaction between AI and design automation (e.g., AI for EDA or EDA for AI). Your emphasis lies in system-level co-design (hardware, software, neural networks, etc.) of electronic systems and in near-system EDA methods for circuit and/or system design, with application domains such as low-power, security, edge intelligence, distributed AI systems, chiplet-based architectures, etc. Additional potentially relevant research topics include open-source hardware design, generative AI in tool development, and EDA techniques for, for example, 2.5 D/3 D integration at future technology nodes, novel computing paradigms, and heterogeneous systemsTeaching: You will teach 4 semester hours per week —or, after a successful final evaluation, 6 semester hours per week— in the bachelor’s and master’s programs in Computer Science. Additionally, you will contribute to the interdisciplinary master’s program in Chip Design.Governance: With the tenure-track professorship, you will assume leadership of an organizational unit at the Institute of Computer Engineering (ITEC).
This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
