PhD scholarship in open-source EDA tools development - DTU Compute

Opportunity summary

Open-source development has changed the software world by providing free compilers and operating systems. A similar shift is currently happening with the electronic design automation (EDA) tools. Open-source tools, such as OpenROAD and LibreLane allow the tapeout of chips using open-source tools only. The overarching goal of ODE4EC-PIV is to enhance Europe's competitiveness in global chip design by boosting productivity through open-source EDA tools and their interoperability, addressing key areas such as efficient verification and bespoke design processes, and promoting innovation through open, standardised, and sovereign EDA solutions. Your project will involve developing open-source tools for generating hardware and developing a functional verification framework. Responsibilities and qualifications • Conduct research on EDA tooling • Designing hardware generators • Development of a verification method, such as functional verification in Scala/Java. • Integrating the development into the Chips JU project ODE4EV-PIV • Co-supervise students. • Optionally contribute to teaching. Required qualifications: • Hardware design in a hardware description language such as Chisel, VDHL, or Verilog. Knowing Chisel is a bonus1 …
