Assistant Professor - Modern Computer Architecture

About the Role:

We are looking for VLSI engineers with a strong foundation in digital systems and computer architecture to take on an academic teaching role. This full-time position is ideal for engineers with hands-on experience in RTL design, processor components, or SoC architecture who are excited to teach how computers are built-from logic gates to microarchitectures. You will lead classroom instruction, mentor student projects, and help shape curriculum at the intersection of digital logic, hardware systems, and architectural design.

Key Responsibilities:

Teach Computer Architecture by drawing from real-world VLSI design

experience-covering instruction sets, pipelining, memory systems, and

microprocessor implementation.

Guide students through lab simulations and RTL projects that explore how

architectural concepts are implemented in hardware (e.g., datapaths, control units,

cache design).

Design and evaluate lab work, assessments, and hands-on student projects that

simulate industry applications.

Mentor and support students in their academic and professional development

journeys.

Continuously update course content to reflect current industry trends and

technologies.

Collaborate with fellow faculty, industry mentors, and curriculum designers to enrich

learning outcomes.

Contribute to curriculum development, academic research, and internal learning

initiatives.

Host technical workshops, design challenges, and guest sessions to extend

classroom learning.

Must-Have Skills Qualifications:

M.Tech / Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Electronics, Electrical, or a related field.

Experience required- 0-2 years

Experience working on processor subsystems, SoC integration, RTL for custom compute blocks, or related architecture-level VLSI work.

Strong technical command over topics such as:

- Computer Architecture: Instruction sets, microprocessors, memory

hierarchy, pipelining, cache systems.

- VLSI Design: CMOS circuits, RTL design, ASIC/FPGA flow, timing analysis, layout.

Proficiency in tools such as Cadence, ModelSim, Synopsys, Xilinx, Mentor Graphics, etc.

Working knowledge of HDL languages (Verilog/VHDL) and scripting (Tcl, Shell,

Python).

Excellent communication and classroom delivery skills.

Demonstrated interest in teaching and mentoring students.

Good-to-Have Skills:

Prior experience as a faculty member or technical trainer.

Familiarity with RISC-V, ARM-based processors, SoC Design, or low-power systems.

Exposure to DFT, verification methodologies, and EDA flows.

Contributions to open-source, academic publications, or online technical content.

Comfort with digital tools, LMS platforms, and collaborative teaching formats.
