The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate who wishes to work on developing an “intelligent memory accelerator” for large-scale artificial intelligence systems and bring it to the market. It is a post mixing academic innovation with the aim to launch a start-up, taking an idea from the lab to the world.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• A good undergraduate degree and a PhD in electronics engineering or a clearly related area, with a focus on digital systems design, or a closely related area or equivalent industry experience.
• Solid experience with HDL-level development, ideally both in FPGA and ASIC flows.
• Strong sense of documentation discipline.
• Keen interest in the semiconductor industry, its trends and new developments.
• Genuine attraction to commercialisation of technology and making an impact in the world.
