Job description

We have full-time on-site PhD Student Positionsin analog/mixed-signal IC design open at The Analog Lab at Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH, U.S.A.).

Qualifications

• Proficiency with Cadence integrated circuit design tools
• Tape-out experience: multiple analog/mixed-signal chips
• Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (with a focus on analog/mixed-signal IC design)
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Python
• Proficiency with Altium/Eagle PCB design tools

The Dartmouth Engineering PhD program includes some course work, but the focus is mainly on research. At The Analog Lab, our current research thrust is in machine-learning hardware. We are integrating deep learning hardware and analog front ends onto the same chip, with applications in speech processing and in biomedical signal processing. As a PhD student, you will take full ownership of a custom integrated circuit, leading its design, tape-out and testing. You will patent, publish and present your work on your way to earning the PhD degree.

In your application, indicate your interest in working for Prof. Kofi Odame (Director, Analog Lab at Dartmouth).
