RISC-V open source and open standards as the nucleus for new platform models help to improve overall flexibility and productivity for a wide market access. Given the challenge implied, the RIGOLETTO project will prepare the way for further exploiting the potential of RISC-V ISA (instruction set architecture) as a key technology to address the demands in the context of future Software Defined Vehicles (SDV).
The primary objective is to expand, mature, and industrialize a novel European RISC-V automotive ecosystem that enables next-generation high-performance European automotive processors. Enabling safe, secure and real-time automotive functionalities in the RISC-V world, RIGOLETTO will establish the foundation for a next-generation Automotive Computing Platform based on the open RISC-V ISA.
Your project will be on developing time-predictable RISC-V architectures to support multicore systems as a basis for real-time automotive functionalities.
Responsibilities:

• Conduct research in time-predictable computer architecture.
• Designing a network-on-chip for real-time automotive systems
• Verify the design with modern verification methods, such as function verification and formal verification.
•  runtime analysis and reconfiguration of in-vehicle TSN networks.
• Co-supervise MSc and PhD students.
• Optionally contribute to teaching and proposal preparation.

Required qualifications:

• As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering.
• Hardware design in a hardware description language such as Chisel, VDHL, or Verilog. Knowing Chisel is a bonus.
• Knowledge of real-time systems 
• System programming in C
