Help shape the future of chip design education through open-source technologies. 

Are you a technically curious student interested in digital design, open-source software, and educational innovation? The Edu4chip project (https://edu4chip.github.io/ ) is looking for part-time employees to support our mission of making chip design more accessible through open-source tools and reproducible workflows. This position offers a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge chip design environments while contributing to the development of educational resources and infrastructure.

The job
As a part-time employee in the Edu4chip project, your primary role will be to explore, evaluate, and support the use of open-source chip design tools in educational contexts. You will assist in building and documenting reproducible workflows, help integrate tools into teaching materials, and contribute to the overall usability and accessibility of the design environment for students and educators.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Exploring and testing open-source chip design tools
• Supporting the development of reproducible and educational design workflows
• Creating documentation, tutorials, and example projects for teaching purposes
• Assisting in tool integration and setup for student use
• Collaborating with researchers and educators to improve usability and accessibility

Experience with chip design
You meet the following requirements:

• You must have a bachelor’s degree and be enrolled in a relevant engineering program (e.g., electrical engineering, computer engineering, or similar)
• Basic understanding of digital logic and computing systems
• Familiarity with Linux environments and scripting and with versioning control of code such as Git
• Experience with chip design corresponding to one of DTU courses 02118 or 02205 or similar
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently

It will additionally be a benefit if you have teaching experience as a teaching assistant, tutor, or the like, and if you have an interest in integrating technology and tools in educational activities.

What we offer in return
This position offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of digital design and semiconductor workflows while contributing to an educational initiative in a collaborative and supporting environment with other European universities. Working hours are flexible to meet your course schedule, and you will get the opportunity to directly impact courses taught at DTU. You will also get industry-relevant experience with all steps in designing a microchip.

Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). You are employed as an AC bachelor.

The position is a part-time position with 10 hours/week and ends on 30 September 2027. Starting date is according to mutual agreement, and the workplace is DTU Lyngby Campus.

Application and contact
Please submit your online application no later than 23 November 2025 (23:59 Danish time) . Open the “Apply now” link, fill out the form and attach your motivated application, CV and exam certificates. 

If you would like additional information about the position, please contact Associate Professor, Matthias Bo Stuart on mbst@dtu.dk .
