Job Description

Research Context

INRIA is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on a research project focused on designing and developing optimized algorithms for fault-tolerant deep neural network hardware accelerators. The goal of this project is to improve the reliability of AI hardware platforms, particularly in safety-critical applications such as robotics, aerospace, and autonomous driving.

Project Objectives

The PhD student will design and develop a methodology to perform large-scale fault analysis on state-of-the-art DNN hardware architectures. The fault analysis will determine the set of malignant hardware faults that mostly impact the accuracy of classification during the inference phase.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop a fault injection framework to assess the resiliency of DNN hardware accelerators to hardware faults.
  • Develop selective fault-tolerance approaches for DNN hardware accelerators using the analysis provided by the fault injection method.
  • Measure the reliability improvements obtained with the above-described methodology and perform a design space exploration to obtain different DNN hardware accelerator implementations providing different trade-offs between fault tolerance and energy efficiency.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
  • Good knowledge of computer architectures and embedded systems.
  • HW design: VHDL/Verilog basics, HW synthesis flow.
  • Basic programming knowledge (C/C++, python).
  • Basics of Machine Learning (pytorch/tensorflow).
  • Experience with High Level Synthesis (HLS) is a plus.
  • Experience in fault-tolerant architectures is a plus.

Working Conditions

  • Subsidized meals.
  • Partial reimbursement of public transport costs.
  • Possibility of teleworking (90 days per year) and flexible organization of working hours.
  • Partial payment of insurance costs.

Salary

Monthly gross salary amounting to 2000 euros for the first and second years and 2100 euros for the third year.
