Deine Rolle im Team

  • We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to conduct research at the intersection of machine learning, electronic design automation (EDA), and electronic circuit reliability.
  • The position is part of a three-year research project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The project aims to develop novel machine-learning methods for the analysis and prediction of circuit reliability, with the goal of making reliability assessment more efficient, scalable, and suitable for increasingly complex electronic systems.
  • The successful candidate will have the opportunity to investigate fundamental research questions and develop novel approaches using modern machine-learning techniques. Depending on the research direction and the candidate's interests, possible approaches may include deep learning, graph neural networks, transfer learning, explainability of machine learning, and optimization methods.
  • The PhD student will have substantial freedom to develop their own research ideas within the framework of the project. The research is expected to lead to scientific publications at international conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Conduct independent research on machine learning for circuit reliability analysis.
  • Develop novel machine-learning methods for predicting, analyzing, or optimizing circuit reliability.
  • Investigate appropriate representations of electronic circuits and design data for machine-learning models.
  • Develop experimental frameworks and evaluate proposed methods using relevant circuit and EDA benchmarks.
  • Publish and present research results at international conferences and in scientific journals.
  • Collaborate with researchers from machine learning, circuit design, and EDA.
  • Contribute to the development of publications, and project activities.
