  • Collaborate with reviewers and researchers to refine evaluation qualiMS or Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
  • Strong expertise in at least two of the below hardware- and systems-focused domains:
    • Computer architecture (pipelines, memory hierarchies, cache coherence, ISA-level reasoning)
    • Hardware systems and performance analysis
    • VLSI design, digital logic, or ASIC/FPGA fundamentals
    • Embedded systems and low-level firmware
    • Operating systems (especially memory management, scheduling, and hardware–software interfaces)
    • Compilers or systems programming with hardware awareness
  • Proven experience in technical research, evaluation, or rigorous problem formulation in academic, lab, or production-oriented environments.
  • Strong programming skills (especially Python) for analysis, verification, and evaluation workflows.
  • Excellent written communication skills and a strong attention to technical detail.
