Research Fellow / Research Associate (Secure HardwareDesign)

About

TUMCREATE

TUMCREATE is a

multidisciplinary research platform of the Technical University

Munich (TUM) at the Singapore Campus for Research Excellence and

Technological Enterprise (CREATE). We are joining forces with

universities, public agencies, and industry for the advancement of

future technologies.

Our research program on

post-quantum Security, 'QUASAR - QUANTUM SECURITY AND RESILIENCE

FOR EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES' funded by Singapore's National Research

Foundation (NRF), is a collaborative effort between the Technical

University Munich (TUM), Fraunhofer Singapore, Nanyang

Technological University (NTU), the National University of

Singapore (NUS). At TUMCREATE, we will focus on developing an open

and verifiable Quantum safe RISC-V processor platform as a

foundation for the QUASAR program.

As part of

the QUASAR team, you will work alongside renowned scientists in

Integrated Circuit (IC) design, security, and quantum

technologies.

Job

Summary

We are seeking a highly

motivated and skilled Researcher in Secure Hardware Design. You

will research the integration and implementation of leading-edge

innovative post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms in embedded

systems exploiting hardware / software co-design techniques in an

application context, using a RISC-V processor. You will investigate

and provide highly optimized ASIC designs of post-quantum

algorithms that are integrated into an open-source post-quantum

secure system. You will be responsible for the logical design and

the integration of digital components in a team for IC design of a

secure RISC-V processor.

This is a fixed term

contract until March 2029.

Key

Responsibilities

Research and design accelerators for PQC accelerators for

an open-source RISC-V processor.

Research and

perform logical design using open-source tools, especially for the

design of an open-source post-quantum secure RISC-V

processor.

Collaborate with experts in design

automation, IC design, and security to enable leading-edge hardware

security solutions and IC design.

Write

scientific manuscripts, contribute to project reports, and present

findings at international conferences and stakeholder

meetings.

Key

Competencies

Proven

expertise in hardware security and / or digital design.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in

English, with the ability to communicate complex analytical results

to multidisciplinary teams.

Demonstrated

ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced,

international research

environment.

Qualification

Requirements

We are seeking for

candidates with a

Master's degree in

electrical engineering or related fields with focus on hardware

security or digital design.

PhD degree related

to hardware security, embedded security, embedded systems or

circuit design.

Candidates expecting to fulfil

one of these requirements within 2 months after application are

welcome to apply.

Publications in the domain

of hardware security at premier conferences and in premier journals

are considered a strong

asset.

What

we offer

collaborative and inclusive world-class research

environment.

Opportunities for scientific

leadership for research fellows.

The

opportunity to pursue a PhD (awarded by the Technical University of

Munich) for research associates with a master's degree.

• Opportunities for professional development.

Engagement with a leading international team addressing

challenges in IC design for post-quantum

security.
