We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.
The EISLAB division of the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering conducts research within Cyber-Physical Systems, Electronic Systems, and Machine Learning. EISLAB is involved in several large European projects on distributed system construction with a focus on IoT, systems of systems (SoS), and CPS. Present examples include Arrowhead fPVN (42 partners, from 11 countries in Europe) and AIMS5.0 (53 partners in Europe, large industries, small and medium-sized industries, research organizations, and universities). A major result is the Eclipse Arrowhead, an open-source software framework for industrial automation widely supported by European industry. For integration between software and hardware work beyond Moore's law addressing chiplet integration based on the SBU-CBM (Sequential Build-Up - Covalent Bounded Metallization. World leading interconnect results on polymer substrates, 1um line and space copper interconnect, 7um vias and multilayer passive L,C,R components, has been demonstrated and published.
Subject description Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) focuses on integrated software and application architectures with implementations of massively distributed embedded systems that interact with each other and their environment to enable secure, goal-driven, autonomous, and evolvable solutions.
Project description You will work with some of the following areas of CPS: -Chiplet integration technology based on the SBU-CBM process. -Addressing integration performance parameters of importance to both cloud server technology and heterogeneous embedded IoT.
The work will be conducted as part of national or European projects with industrial partners. Targeted results will be produced, characterized, demonstrated and published in high ranked journals and conferences.
Duties The position typically involves working in collaboration with both academia and industrial partners in Europe. Collaboration with the industry is thus important. In this, you will work closely with other LTU researchers and take part in the supervision of M.Sc. students. The position mainly includes work on research projects. Teaching and pedagogical development work are also included.
The holder of the position is expected to contribute in: Research within funded projects towards a PhD degree in collaboration with other senior researchers at EISLAB as well as postgraduate and M.Sc. engineering students. -Education at the university at engineering, civil engineering, teaching, and supervision. -Contribute to a healthy and forward-looking work climate at the division EISLAB, SRT, and Luleå University of Technology.
Qualifications To be a qualified applicant, you must have an M.Sc. in CPS, Microelectroncis, Material science or the like. In the first instance, it should be considered that a M.Sc. has been awarded for a maximum of three years before the end of the application period. You should be proficient in Microelectronics, (design, characterization and clean room work). Previous experience working with chiplet packaging and associated material sciences is valuable. Fluency in oral and written communication in English is a requirement. Experience in international research collaboration, university-level teaching in English, are merits for the service.
