Enschede, Nederland University of Twente Voltijd

Artificial Intelligence (AI) empowers many applications in virtually all aspects of life. More and more devices, machines, and sensors connect to the Internet of Things (IoT), which creates large amounts of data. Even fast networks sometimes struggle to transfer data to a data centre or the ‘cloud’ for analysis, demanding incredible power. Solving this high energy consumption and connectivity crisis is only possible by developing intelligent hardware for edge-computing systems, allowing for decentralized data processing close to a machine, device, or IoT sensor. To this end, the NWO IMAGINE project strives to design a novel and innovative CMOS-compatible energy-efficient framework for sensing and computing for vision edge-AI applications. IMAGINE will co-design device technology, analogue and digital electronic circuitry, algorithms, and systems to empower many applications, from reactive systems and autonomous driving to industrial inspection. IMAGINE is a collaboration of the University of Twente, the Eindhoven University of Technology, Toyota and IMEC.

We invite applications for a PhD position at the Computer Architecture for Embedded Systems group. We are looking for a talented and highly motivated candidate to work on this collaborative project doing research at the intersection of computer architecture, design of memory subsystems, FPGA-based acceleration, and deep learning.

Your profile

You are an enthusiastic and highly motivated researcher. You have a master’s degree in a relevant discipline, such as computer engineering, embedded systems, or computer science. You have good knowledge of C, C++, and Python (preferably in Linux environment). You have experience in FPGA design using hardware description languages and/or high-level synthesis (VHDL, Verilog, Vitis HLS, Vitis), and knowledge in programming FPGA boards. You know about machine learning and deep learning, and previous experience with AI/ML frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch You are proficient in English.
