Our drivers make sure customers can bring their products to life. As we always have a plan, we come with the right products at the right moment so our customers stay one step ahead of the competition. That’s what we call inspired engineering.

 

 
We mainly focus on semiconductors for the automotive industry. Melexis is energizing the transition to Electrical Vehicles (EVs). We increase the efficiency of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars. Besides the automotive market, we cater to other markets as well.

 
Our people are and make the difference. Melexis creates a framework for colleagues to grow, thrive and create impact for themselves, the customer and the company. Because we care, we empower and we excel. We believe in the power of diversity. Spread over 3 continents, 1900 colleagues from 50 nationalities shape the best imaginable future.

Project Description

As part of our dedication to advancing technology, Melexis is heavily invested in the RISC-V architecture, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) that has gained significant momentum in recent years. However, as a leading automotive supplier, Melexis has unique performance, safety, and cost requirements towards the technology we integrate into our products.


Several RISC-V implementations are available on the market today, differing widely in terms of area, performance, and licensing terms, but also in error-detection features, availability of hardware acceleration modules, and debugging support. Our goal is to evaluate and compare them in order to select one or more implementations that fit our current and future processing needs.

This role will give you hands-on experience in benchmarking, performance analysis, and architectural evaluation of these processors.

 

Expected results

• A comprehensive review of the state of the art in terms of RISC-V implementation according to the full spectrum of Melexis needs, from single-thread performance to fitness for industrialization.

Your profile

• Master 1

• Basic programming knowledge

• Basic knowledge of CPU architecture
