System-Level Reliability Architect

Karlstad University; Heverlee; Sur place; EUR 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Imec’s Compute System Architecture (CSA) center seeks an experienced System-Level Reliability Researcher to advance reliability methodologies for future compute systems. You will model fault propagation, develop simulation and fault-injection frameworks, and translate reliability data into architectural insights.

Collaborating with technology, device, circuit and design teams, you will help define architecture-level reliability metrics and drive research publications and partner discussions.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering/Science or related field.
• 6+ years of relevant experience in industry and/or academia.
• Strong background in compute system architecture and microarchitecture.
• Solid understanding of system-level reliability, resilience, and dependability concepts (RAS).
• Experience developing architectural models or system-level evaluation methodologies.

Responsabilités

• Develop system-level reliability assessment methods for processors, accelerators, memory subsystems, SoCs, and chiplet-based architectures.
• Create architectural fault models and abstractions from lower-layer reliability information.
• Build and use simulation, emulation, and fault-injection frameworks to study fault propagation and impact.
• Quantify reliability outcomes such as SDC, errors, outages, and lifetime-related degradation at system level.
• Evaluate RAS mechanisms including error detection, containment, recovery, redundancy, and graceful degradation.
• Study workload-dependent reliability under realistic execution profiles.
• Translate reliability data into architectural models and design decisions.
• Collaborate with CSA colleagues and external partners on workload models and simulators.
