Embark on a journey through the forefront of AI, computing, and information sciences research, powered by a team of 400 experts across three strategic sites.
A pioneering force in revolutionizing digital design, computer architecture, and EDA tooling is looking for a Research Computer Scientist - Digital Design to bridge academia and real-world innovation, shaping the future through applied research.
This position is located in Arlington, VA with Hybrid work options available.
Join a team that:
- Embraces a culture of continuous learning and fosters innovative thinking.
- Encourages open, transparent, and constructive feedback.
- Promotes ongoing personal and professional growth.
What you’ll do:
- Research and develop AI-enabled EDA tools for next-generation systems.
- Research and develop high-speed, compact on-chip communication and switching mechanisms that scale to full device solutions.
- Develop full-scale domain-specific computational accelerators for emerging fields such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption and RF spectrum sharing
- Perform experiments on the International Space Station
- Utilize the organization’s service to fabricate novel computer architectures.
- Support the full life cycle from functional architecture definition to physical implementation, verification, and tape-out.
What you’ll need:
- PhD or MS and equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science
- Five years of digital design experience using Synopsys or Cadence CAD tools and commercial/academic cad flows.
- Previous publications, patents, or innovations related to digital design, computer architecture, on-chip networking, EDA for digital design, or novel application mapping.
- Five years of Hardware Description Language (Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog) and Python development experience.
- Ability to evaluate, apply, and mature published research to real-world problems at scale on prototype systems.
- Ability to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Per U.S. government regulations, eligibility to handle CUI requires U.S. Citizenship.
Nice to Have:
- Three years of experience with hardware/software co-design and design space exploration with heterogenous computing architectures.
- Successful tape out experience on modern foundry nodes (<=12nm)
- Prior experience using digital logic verification tools such as Synopsys Formality, Cadence Conformal, or Synopsys VC Formal
- Prior experience developing and/or verifying wireless or digital signal processing systems.
