Job description

Join the CEA to give meaning to your work, lead or support national and international R&D projects, and cultivate and nurture your curiosity.

IN SUMMARY, WHAT DO WE OFFER YOU?
We are looking for an Research Engineer in AI-assisted Methods for Model Generation and Simulation of SoC Designs for the CEA/DRT/List (Direction de la Recherche Technologique). This non permanent position is based at the Nano-Innov site in Paris-Saclay, Essonne (91). The position is to be filled as soon as possible.


WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Research Engineer to join our team to develop cutting-edge technology in the field of Electronic Design Automation (EDA).

In the context of a national project, you will be responsible for developing a simulation environment for chiplet-based SoC architecture, using AI-driven methodologies to improve existing EDA flow. You will work in close cooperation with our interdisciplinary team of engineers and researchers on innovative research projects at European and national level as well as in industrial partnerships.

Responsibilities:

- Develop and implement an AI-based model generation methodologies for computing platform simulation. The generated models will cover functional behavior for software validation as well as performance prediction of the hardware platform.

- Integration of the generated models into a simulation environment (virtual prototype) targeting chiplet-based architectures

- Evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed solution.

- Stay ahead of advances and best practices in AI, SoC design, and related fields and contribute to CEA's intellectual property through patents and publications.
