Are you a Ph D with enthusiasm towards programming, computer architectures and microprocessor development? Here is an opportunity for you to join the microprocessor development activities of Aalto Microelectronics Research Center ( ).

RISC-V is an open-source microprocessor instruction set, which is gaining interest in academia and industry. In Aalto, Department of Electronics and nanoengineering, we have developed our own open-source RISC-V core implementation that we can use as a controller in our mixed-mode System-on-Chip designs.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work with us on this area of research. In this position we provide the possibility for hands-on development of your ideas in processor design as a member of our RISC-V design team within the scope of the projects you will be affiliated with.

Topic focuses on improving current RISC-V implementation and merging it with digital and analog signal processing and cryptography accelerators and sensor interfaces advancing to implementation on silicon or verification on FPGA according to your preferences. The position is appropriate for Ph Ds eager to reach to state-of-the-art, with enthusiasm to go where very few have gone before.

The successful execution of the work requires willingness to learn fluent Unix working habits, Git version control, shell scripting, Python, and Scala/Chisel programming, complemented with doctoral level knowledge of digital and analog design tools and methodology. Minimum entry criteria is D.Sc. or Ph D degree in microelectronics design or computer science and working proficiency in English.
