Job Description

A Research Engineer position is open in the research group of Professor Massimo Alioto, at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). The Research Engineer will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) on one or more research projects.

The project aims to explore flexible and ultra-low power always-on silicon platforms (e.g., for IoT). Innovative power management techniques with very wide power-performance scaling will be investigated to minimize the system energy. Such techniques will be investigated for digital sub-systems in advanced technologies.The Candidate will be responsible to conduct research at the circuit level, defining and validating design options and defining new integrated circuit techniques. 

The initial appointment duration is 12 months, which can then be extended based on an evaluation at the end of the initial appointment.
