This position is for a process scientist/engineer with prior experience in nanofabrication in a cleanroom. The project aims to integrate a novel molecular neuromorphic architecture with a single-chip (CMOS) platform to develop an AI accelerator that will surpass all existing architectures. At IISc, we have developed a cutting-edge neuromorphic hardware substantially outperforming the competing technologies [ref. 1-8]. Is has been demonstrated at a PCB level that this technology could outperform traditional systems like the Haswell CPU or GPUs (such as NVIDIA) in terms of speed, resolution, and space utilization. The potential market size for Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands to be one of the largest in human history, estimated between USD 3.5 to 5.8 trillion. Capturing a substantial portion of this vast market could redefine the national economic landscape, serving as a key driver of sustained growth for the years ahead. Therefore, it is crucial to leverage our nation’s expertise to achieve technological advancements with global impact. The current project funded by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, aligns strategically with this goal, focusing on developing one of the world’s best, energy-efficient accelerator on CMOS chip, for AI and Machine Learning (ML), potentially leading to the incubation of start-up at IISc after the tenure (3 years) of the project.
