• Develop strategies for evaluating the similarity between standard cell data in the same library or different libraries, using approaches like custom distance metrics or embeddings derived from existing DNN models.
• Improve existing metadata encodings (such as cell function or process corner) to enhance DNN model performance and create a content-based information retrieval prototype.
• Use the content-based information retrieval prototype to identify suitable data for model training and develop an approach for using this data within a transfer learning framework to quickly update the existing DNN model.
• Develop approaches for compressing the final DNN model after transfer learning.

• Creative, entrepreneurial, and independent problem solver, proficient at navigating the uncertainty associated with transforming research into products.
• Experience working with state-of-the-art deep learning models, including image segmentation, generative techniques such as GANs and diffusion, and active or reinforcement learning.
• Knowledge of Python and associated ML libraries (Pytorch, Tensorflow, Pandas, Numpy, Sklearn).
• Experience with large-scale scientific computing, including distributed computing and databases.
• Familiarity with IC digital design, analog design, SOC architecture, and IC validation is a plus.
• Strong interpersonal skills for interfacing with both internal teams and customers.
• In the process of completing a PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
