Open positions

Welcome! MSIC Lab is constantly looking for talented students to work with us. If the following description fits your profile, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Choo for next steps.

1. Potential joint-Ph.D. student with CSEM
   • Min. requirements:
     • MS or equivalent degree in integrated circuits – RF circuit
2. Potential Ph.D. student for chip design/embedded systems track
   • Common Min. requirements:
     • MS or equivalent degree with integrated circuits / embedded systems concentration
     • Desire/aptitude to lead, not follow 
   • Min. requirements for chip design track:
     • Full tape-out experience (RTL/transistor design, simulation, synthesis+PNR/layout, integration, tape-out, PCB design, testing, paper writing/submission) 
     • Ready to take on the full responsibility for a tape-out on a complex mixed-signal (both analog and digital) chip design with  >1k transistor count
   • Min. requirements for embedded systems track:
     • Full system design experience (power design, MCU programming in Assem./C/C++, communication, sensors, PCB, etc.)
     • Ready to take on the full responsibility for a system design utilizing a custom IC in the direction of pervasive ultra-low-power IoT-like systems
3. Master student wishing to do tape-out projects
   • Min. requirements:
     • willingness to commit 2+ semesters of semester/master projects – this tape-out project will have publishable novelty aspects to it, hence we need students who would follow through to the end
     • took/planning to take >10 ECTS of integrated circuit design courses
   • Availability of position is a function of our Ph.D. students’ availability
4. Master students wishing to do embedded systems / circuit simulation projects
   • Min. requirement: 
     • took/planning to take >10 ECTS of integrated circuit design courses during MS 
   • Availability of position is a function of our Ph.D. students’ availability
5. Internship students (Master or Bachelor level) 
   • Min. requirement:
     • Willing to commit Summer months (>3 months) for integrated circuits research
     • took/planning to take >10 ECTS of integrated circuit design courses during MS
   • Check out the E3 program (for international applicants)
   • Availability of position is a function of our Ph.D. students’ availability
