The efficient deployment of complex neural networks on modern edge and embedded hardware presents a key challenge. Here, unique opportunities await you to overcome this bottleneck and actively shape the future of AI deployment. Are you ready to make a decisive contribution with your thesis and redefine the boundaries of what is technically feasible? During your Thesis, you delve deeply into current research, analyzing state-of-the-art optimization strategies for the deployment of neural networks to assess their suitability for efficient HW/SW co-design. Furthermore, you develop an innovative mathematical framework to formally verify numerical tolerance limits for neural network operations, thereby establishing a new verification metric. You evaluate the complex interplay between hardware acceleration and numerical stability to identify and integrate optimal trade-offs. Lastly, you document your research findings with precision and present them persuasively to the team, actively fostering technical exchange.

Education: Studies in the field of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable Experience and Knowledge: strong experience in Python/C++, neural network compiler (TVM), basic hardware knowledge, Deep Learning Concepts, Linux, LaTeX Personality and Working Practice: you possess a strong inventive spirit and have the desire to discuss and communicate complex research topics in a global environment. Work Routine: office attendance required Languages: good in English
