Your Responsibilities
Investigate existing and possible architectures and select the most promising one.
Create a high level model including the necessary imperfections (in e.g. Matlab) for the chosen architecture to prove the performance.
Design the circuits for the chosen architecture and prove the performance in simulation.
If time allows, make a testchip to prove the performance on silicon.
What’s in it for you?
Join forces in developing IC’s according to the highest standards
Build up experience in collaborating with international teams and stakeholders
Ability to develop your engineering and communication skills
Working together with experienced members of the team
Your Profile
