Rapid and efficient architecture exploration facilitates making crucial design decisions during early phases of modern System-on-Chip (SoC) development. Furthermore, verifying automotive SoC using real-field scenarios is still needed to ensure quality and reliability. The goal of this study is to improve automotive SoC dimensioning as well as its overall quality, while reducing development effort and time. This topic addresses a modeling, exploration, and verification framework that focusses on modeling SW application as well as SoC architecture at different levels abstraction to boost the efficiency of architecture exploration. It also addresses design verification and bridging the gaps between SW development, SoC design and verification.

For this task you will receive support from our modeling and verification experts to gain in-depth understanding of our SoCs.

The employment as a scientific researcher at Bosch is offered for a duration of 3 years. We expect you to place your papers in high-ranking IEEE conferences.
