NTU Main Campus Singapore Nanyang Technological University Singapore Full time $150,000 - $200,000 per year

The Continental-NTU Corp Lab is a strategic research collaboration between NTU and Continental, focusing on developing technically advanced solutions in the areas such as sustainable materials engineering, artificial intelligence, advanced communications and cybersecurity capabilities for future urban mobility applications. We aim to develop innovative solutions that can be commercialized into products and services for Continental through close collaboration with its business units.

In this job opening, we are seeking a highly motivated and visionary researcher to join our team focused on heterogeneous integration and security of chiplet-based IC systems. This role involves research and development in AI-assisted design for chiplet-oriented architectures, aiming to demonstrate secure intelligent computing platforms outperforms traditional compute platforms. We invite applicants to join us as a Research Fellow or Senior Researcher (full-time). You will be part of the Continental-NTU Corporate Lab research team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Research and develop AI-assisted EDA methodologies for IC and heterogeneous chiplet design, security and cryptographic primitive integration, and architecture optimization.

  • Focus on AI-assisted secure IC design, with domain adapted LLM, ML in front-end design, simulation tools for chiplet-based/oriented prototypes

  • Investigate and apply AI principles for IC design, RTL synthesis, partitioning, and verification automation.

  • Integrate open-source and commercial tools (e.g., SpinalHDL) to build proof-of-concept design flows

  • Building data pipelines for learning and knowledge acquisition, knowledge augmentation for domain adapted LLM and knowledge management

  • Design AI-guided decision-making pipelines to assist in security-aware architecture generation and vulnerability mitigation (e.g., hardware trojans, side-channel exposure).

  • Co-develop testbenches for hardware simulations and chiplet-level threat modelling.

  • Collaborate closely with FPGA and IC prototyping teams to deploy AI-optimized designs on hardware.

  • Publish research outcomes with the team in leading conferences and journals in AI, EDA, and hardware security.

  • Contribute to white papers and strategic planning documents for long-term roadmap development.

Job Requirements:

  • MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, AI, Chip Design, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field

  • Proven experience with HW/SW Co-Design, FPGA development and hardware prototyping

  • Strong understanding of digital design principles and embedded systems

  • Experience with EDA tools, chip design flows and IC system modeling.

  • Proven expertise in AI/ML for systems or hardware co-design, including use of reinforcement learning, LLMs, graph-based optimization, or agentic AI.

  • Familiarity with security concepts and cryptographic implementations in IC/SoC design, e.g., post-quantum primitives and hardware implementations, TEE/RoT.

  • Track record of research publications in top-tier venues is strongly preferred.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities

  • Demonstrated ability to work across interdisciplinary and diverse teams, ideally with experience in project planning and management

  • Excellent collaborative and communication skills in English for research purposes

  • Good communication and presentation skills, fluency in multiple languages is a plus
