Job description

The Continental-NTU Corp Lab is a strategic research collaboration between NTU and Continental, focusing on developing technically advanced solutions in the areas such as sustainable materials engineering, artificial intelligence, advanced communications and cybersecurity capabilities for future urban mobility applications. We aim to develop innovative solutions that can be commercialized into products and services for Continental through close collaboration with its business units. In this job opening, we are seeking a highly motivated and visionary researcher to join our team focused on heterogeneous integration and security of chiplet-based IC systems. This role involves research and development in chiplet-based architectures, aiming to demonstrate secure intelligent computing platforms outperforms traditional compute platforms. We invite applicants to join us as a Research Fellow or Senior Researcher (full-time). You will be part of the Continental-NTU Corporate Lab research team.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct cutting-edge research to hetero-design / chiplet-based systems, with a focus on security of components and interconnects across chiplets. Focus on new IC design concepts for embedded ARM and RISC-V architectures. Investigate various aspects of system design, including: Topology exploration, routing algorithms, protocol and flow control design Chiplet oriented and interposer design strategies, SiP and chiplet architecture Fault tolerance, robustness and reliability Functional / Cryptographic agility in hardware Prototype and design new architectural innovations, including chiplet oriented architectures and NoC (Network-on-Chip) enhancements with a focus on long-term security, integrated hardware security functions, hardware root-of-trusts (RoT) and cryptographic agility Knowledge and/or experience in using some of tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys, etc. Contribute to long-term research strategy, white papers, and vision documents. Publish high-quality research in top-tier conferences and journals.

Job Requirements:

PhD or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field. Strong background in IC front-end design, interconnection networks and security architectures is a must. Demonstrated research expertise in one or more of the following areas: IC Front-end Design, Chiplet design, Heterogeneous Integration Cryptographic Hardware Engineering System-level modelling and simulation Proven publication record in relevant peer-reviewed venues. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and system-level thinking skills. Strong verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a cross-disciplinary team.

Hiring Institution:

NTU A research-intensive public university, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Engineering, Business, Science, Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences, and Graduate colleges. It also has a medical school, the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, established jointly with Imperial College London. NTU is also home to world-class autonomous institutes – the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering – and various leading research centres such as the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI) and Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N). Ranked amongst the world’s top universities by QS, NTU has also been named the world’s top young university for the past seven years. The University’s main campus is frequently listed among the Top 15 most beautiful university campuses in the world and has 57 Green Mark-certified (equivalent to LEED-certified) buildings, of which 95% are certified Green Mark Platinum. Apart from its main campus, NTU also has a campus in Novena, Singapore’s healthcare district. Under the NTU Smart Campus vision, the University harnesses the power of digital technology and tech-enabled solutions to support better learning and living experiences, the discovery of new knowledge, and the sustainability of resources.
