Roles & Responsibilities

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 leading-edge True Random Number Generator (TRNG) and Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) solutions in the context of post quantum security applications, especially dedicated to a RISC-V processors. You will investigate and provide advanced designs and algorithms for PUF-based key-storage and authentication solutions and accelerators to provide randomness to an open-source post-quantum secure system. You will be responsible for the physical design and the integration of analog components in a team for IC design of an RISC-V processor.

This is a fixed term contract until March 2029.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and provide TRNG and PUF solutions for an open-source RISC-V processor.
• Research and perform backend 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-intrinsic security solutions and IC design.
• Write scientific manuscripts, contribute to project reports, and present findings at international conferences and stakeholder meetings.
