Vacancy for Research Officer (1 Position already filled) for System-on-Chip interconnect modeling Project

The project is funded by the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) for a period of 2 years. The minimum eligibility for the candidate and other requirements are as follows:

Essential Qualification:

Possess at least a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, with specialization in IC Design / Electronics / Microelectronics / Computer Systems. Knowledge in VLSI, Matlab, and experience working with FPGA. Minimum CGPA is 3.3 (our of 4.0 scale).

Desirable qualification:

Knowledge on System-on-Chip and Network-on-Chip.

Job Description:

The scope of work involves the development of a simulation model of on-chip interconnects. The aim is to model the neural network structure (brain's axonal interconnects) for the application of system-on-chip interconnects. First, Matlab models will be developed, simulated, and verified. Then equivalent VLSI models will be developed using Cadence EDA tools.

Financial incentives:

Monthly stipend and the opportunity to get MSc in E&E Engineering (by research) with tuition-fee waiver.
