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 Side-Channel Security of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). You will explore possible side-channel analysis (SCA) weaknesses of leading-edge PQC implementations and develop countermeasures. You will be responsible for preparing and maintaining a side-channel evaluation lab that is in addition used for testing a RISC-V based system developed in QUASAR. You will research, implement, and test countermeasures against SCA attacks on PQC algorithms.

This is a fixed term contract until March 2029.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform SCA of PQC algorithms.
• Research, implement, and test SCA countermeasures.
• Prepare and maintain the lab and necessary lab setups (including PCB designs) for side-channel measurements and testing of a secure RISC-V platform.
• Collaborate with experts in IC design and security to enable leading-edge IC design.
• Write scientific manuscripts, contribute to project reports, and present findings at international conferences and stakeholder meetings.
