À propos de nous Nantes Université est un établissement public d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche qui propose un modèle d’université
inédit en France unissant une université, un hôpital universitaire (CHU de Nantes), un institut de recherche technologique (IRT Jules Verne), un organisme national de recherche (Inserm) ainsi que Centrale Nantes, l’école des Beaux-Arts Nantes Saint-Nazaire et l’École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Nantes. Ces acteurs concentrent leurs forces pour développer l’excellence de la recherche nantaise et offrir de nouvelles opportunités de formations , dans tous les domaines de la connaissance. Durable et ouverte sur le monde , Nantes Université veille à la qualité des conditions d'études et de travail offertes à ses étudiantes, étudiants et personnels, pour favoriser leur épanouissement sur tous ses campus de Nantes, Saint-Nazaire et La Roche-sur-Yon. Mission The postdoctoral researcher will work on methodologies for evaluating processor reliability and dependability in compliance with automotive industry requirements. The purpose of this work is to define a high level model for the design of reliable architecture supporting autonomous automotive applications requirement. In the Rigoletto project application, we will focus on open-hardware processor based on the RISC-V ISA. The model will be used to define a methodology and tools to explore architecture so as to find a tradeoff between reliability, and performances (speed, area, …). The main applications domain is focused on AI and ML accelerators. The position requires in-depth knowledge of RISC-V architectures and proficiency in modeling tools (such as Gem5) to assess performance, reliability, and energy trade-offs. Skills in system reliability (ECC codes, fault detection, redundancy) and the development of custom tools or scripts (Python, C++) for simulation and test campaign automation are essential. Understanding on AI and ML models will be an asset. Profil System Modeling, general knowledge of computer science and/or engineering Proficiency in C programming is required. Skills in Linux, microcontroller programming, reliability analysis, etc., would be an asset. Good command of English, both spoken and written Project management Autonomy PhD in computer science or computer engineering Team spirit Rigor
