Context And Mission
The Computer Architecture and Operating System group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims at carrying out research on programming models for critical embedded systems in charge of controlling fundamental parts of cars, airplanes and satellites.
Our work is mainly done in the context of bilateral projects with several processor companies as well as several European-funded projects.
The objective of this position is to implement existing solutions for space processors such as AI accelerators in other space processors and implement new features in them.
It will also include the porting of the designs to FPGAs or contributing to their tape-out activities. The work will be performed within on-going METASAT project funded by the European Commission, which is coordinated by BSC and is performed with collaboration several industrial partners.
Key DutiesImplement existing hardware solutions such as AI accelerators to new space processorsPort the hardware designs to FPGAsParticipate in tape-out activitiesEvaluate the performance of the developed hardware designsRequirementsEducation
- Ongoing Master's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field
- Demonstrated experience with hardware design languages and FPGA use through university courses or Bachelor's / Master's thesis
- Demonstrated AI and GPU programming training either as part of the Bachelor's and / or Master Degree Curriculum or other certified entities, preferably from CUDA Centers of Excellence
Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience
- C, C++, CUDA, Python programming
- At least one hardware design language (System Verilog, VHDL)
