Junior Scientist - Digital ASIC/MPSoC Circuit Designer for Solid-state Quantum System on Chip

SAL - Silicon Austria Labs

Villach, Austria

Your future responsibilities

As part of the DireQT project, we're developing an integrated platform for quantum information processing. We're looking for a motivated digital ASIC/MPSoC designer to help shape the next generation of quantum system-on-chip solutions.

As a junior Scientist at SAL your focus will lay on scientific work and methods. In Addition you will develop strong R&D skills.

Work in a collaborative, research-driven environment where your expertise will have real impact.

• Enable innovative solutions based on the most advanced MP-SoC platforms;
• Designing digital circuits using FPGA technology and SoC (e.g.Zynq), including selecting the appropriate FPGA, designing the circuit architecture and coding the logic in a hardware description language (HDL) such as System Verilog, Verilog or VHDL;
• Verifying the design and functionality of the digital circuits using simulation tools and perform tests on a physical FPGA board;
• Creating and maintaining documentation for the FPGA design, including schematics, test plans and user manuals;
• HDL coding for ASIC integration;
• Developing and partitioning digital system architecture;
• Ability to work closely and collaboratively with other SW/HW developers to deliver integrated systems rapidly;
• Support in project acquisition, funding proposals, and project management under guidance;
• Conducts high-quality research with scientific rigor and output (e.g. publications, patents, conference presentations), contributing to project success and customer satisfaction;
• Engages in scientific networking and visibility activities to strengthen SAL’s reputation and research excellence.

Your profile

• Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering;
• Excellent programming skills in scripting languages such as Python, Perl and Tcl, as well as in programming languages such as C/C++ and Java;
• Understanding of device trees and Linux kernel drivers;
• Ability to integrate a wide range of IP cores;
• Knowledge of how to work with SoCs to leverage both the FPGA fabric and the processing system;
• Self-motivated and proactive, with a research-oriented approach. Well organized and enjoys working in a dynamic and multicultural team;
• Excellent professional communication skills in English;
• Knowledge of the German language is an advantage;
• Willingness to relocate to Villach, Austria.
