Mission

Design, maintain, and promote a shared system design platform that advances research and education in complex Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) and embedded computing at EPFL.

Main duties and responsibilities

  • Creating a system design platform accessible to all EPFL labs to facilitate research and development of complex SoCs and related embedded systems.
  • Maintaining and expanding this platform in collaboration with EPFL labs by systematically extending it based on EPFL research. 
  • Overseeing the creation and distribution of Open-Source Hardware-based platforms and design methodologies for EPFL research.
  • Providing training for PhD students and actively participating in hands-on teaching, including the development of new, dedicated classes (currently lacking in our curriculum) on embedded computing platforms. 
  • Promoting the platforms use inside and outside EPFL, for instance, in EPFL MAKE projects.

Profile

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; or M.Sc. with minimum 5 years of industrial experience in IC design.
  • Strong expertise in one or more of the following: digital design (RTL, synthesis), RF design, or low-power design.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics).
  • Solid understanding of CMOS technology and semiconductor device physics.
  • Experience with tape-out and silicon validation is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
  • Experience with FinFET or advanced node technologies.
  • Publications or patents in IC design are a strong plus.

We offer

  • A dynamic and multicultural work environment in a multidisciplinary institution of international standing
  • The opportunity to participate in large-scale, motivating and varied projects
  • Attractive working conditions
