General information
Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Division description
The CEA's technological research department (DRT) has a portfolio of technologies in the fields of information and communication, energy and health. As an interface between research and industry, our mission is to develop and transfer technologies, from theoretical proof of concept to industrial demonstrators, for the benefit of industry.
CEA List, a research laboratory specializing in intelligent digital systems, is located in the heart of the Paris-Saclay science and technology cluster.
Description de l'unité
Within the CEA List, the mission of the Design Environment and Architecture Laboratory (LECA) is to design innovative and flexible computing architectures that meet the challenges of performance, cost, energy consumption, safety and security, particularly for critical embedded systems and accelerators for embedded AI. To reduce the development time and improve the quality of these architectures, the laboratory develops cutting-edge approaches for innovative design tools and methods.

Job description
As part of a multidisciplinary technology research team of experts in hardware IP design and design tools, you will be involved in national and European research projects aimed at expanding and maturing the European RISC-V ecosystem to strengthen Europe's sovereignty. In particular, the team is involved in extra-functional properties assessment (such as power, performance) during the early design stage of system-on-chips, guiding architectural choices.
Your main tasks will be to:
- Evaluate the existing state-of-the-art open source solutions for modeling and virtual prototyping of RISC-V HW platforms.
- Analyze specifications and features of SoCs (System-On-Chips), including RISC-V processors, memory hierarchies and peripherals.
- Design innovative methodologies, including machine learning-based modeling, to extend existing simulation platforms with performance evaluation capabilities.
- Deliver the next generation of simulation methodologies and tools.
You are expected to:
- Collaborate with R&D partners (research and industrial organizations).
- Contribute to the scientific dissemination of the team's research results (through international conferences) and foster innovation (through patents).
