Doctoral Researcher: Testability of Safety Mechanisms | Doctoral Thesis: Testability of Safety Mechanisms (f/m/div)

Job Summary

This doctoral position offers a unique opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. while gaining invaluable industry experience at Infineon, a leader in semiconductor components for automotive embedded electronic systems. The role focuses on enhancing the testability of on-chip safety mechanisms, such as Dual-Core Lockstep (DCLS) and Error-Correction (ECC) logic, which are crucial for the reliability and safety of highly dependable systems. The successful candidate will investigate Design-for-Test (DfT) and test improvement measures to address the current challenges of low testability, which lead to increased manufacturing test costs. This involves developing a scientific foundation to quantify the inter-dependency between safety and testability, balancing cost and design area, and creating an experimental setup to evaluate proposed solutions. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich, providing a strong academic and industrial mentorship environment.
