18:30 – 18:45: Morse Micro
Presentation by Julius Baxter, VP, ASIC Engineering at Morse Micro.
Morse Micro is a fast-growing fabless semiconductor company developing Wi-Fi HaLow solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) market that can reach 10x the range of conventional Wi-Fi technology and last many years on a single battery. The company was founded by Wi-Fi pioneers and innovators, Michael De Nil and Andrew Terry, joined by the original Wi-Fi inventor Prof. Neil Weste and wireless industry veterans, whose teams designed Wi-Fi chips into billions of smartphones. Headquartered in Australia with offices in China, India and the U.S., Morse Micro’s strong and diverse system team, portfolio of IP and patents, enables Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity across the complete IoT ecosystem, from surveillance systems and access control to industrial automation and mobile devices, allowing connected devices to reach farther.
18:50 – 19:05: Vypercore – Designing Cutting Edge Silicon at a Start-Up
Peter Birch, CUED and CUES Committee alumnus
– An introduction to the hardware accelerator VyperCore is building for modern programming languages
– I’ll show the complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of building a modern silicon chip, and how this is so much more than just transistor physics
– I’ll be bringing at least one demo system with me of our hardware running real code
VyperCore is a seed-stage start-up developing an accelerator for memory management – by implementing the garbage collector in hardware we can offer a 5x speed-up to Python applications without changing a line of code. Our technology can be applied to any ‘managed’ programming language such as Python, Javascript, and C#. We aim to build a high-performance server-class processor over the next 5 years, delivering the first major architectural change to general purpose compute in decades! We are open to hiring graduate engineers with an interest software or electronics. We may be able to offer internships to those in later years where they have specialised into a related discipline.
19:10 – 19:25: PRFI & CML Micro – Challenges of Integrated Circuit Design at RF and Microwave Frequencies
In this presentation, you will hear from a recent Cambridge University graduate talking about their time at PRFI and the projects they have worked on. This will include the design of a power amplifier IC for RFID applications, which has recently been released as a commercially available part. The technical challenges during the design process will be discussed and they will share their reflections on working in a small technical design consultancy.
PRFI Ltd. is a UK-based design house specialising in the design of RFICs and MMICs, and microwave/mmWave modules. Projects range from feasibility studies to the development of microwave ICs, components and sub-systems. Our clients range from start-ups to major multi-nationals. We have a reputation for achieving first-time design success using proven design approaches. CML Micro is a supplier of high-performance RF products and mixed-signal baseband/modem processors across multiple wireless voice and data communication markets. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Essex, UK, CML Micro has a global presence and wide range of capabilities to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. They are hiring interns and graduates.
19:30 – 19:45: PA Consulting – Electronic engineering from R&D through to product development
We will be sharing some of our insights from two current projects. A project exploring the art of the possible in antenna technology and a cutting edge electronic product which is being delivered into the market
At PA Consulting we have a unique combination of industry expertise and engineering capability. At our dedicated Global Innovation Technology Centre in Cambridge UK, we develop award-winning products and manufacturing processes, helping clients understand and use technology more effectively. Our electronic engineers have expertise in creating electronic systems and are constantly learning about their craft and broadening their knowledge, working alongside colleagues who all have a passion for using what they know, every day. We work across the development process, from design, simulation and prototyping through, test and transfer to volume manufacture. Our consultants bring experience from across industry and consultancy to ensure the quality and value of our client deliverables. They are hiring: Summer interns, penultimate year.
