Open Call for Computational Scientists, Mathematical Modelers
The Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society (IT’IS) is an independent, nonprofit research organization closely associated with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. We are currently inviting talented and experienced individuals to join our innovative team.
IT’IS, in collaboration with Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG), ZMT Zurich MedTech AG (ZMT), and TI Solutions AG (TI Solutions), forms the Zurich43 alliance. Our dedicated mission is to enhance knowledge and technology in:
- Characterization, optimization, and application of the electromagnetic (EM) near-field
- Predictive modeling of interactions between physical agents and physiology in complex anatomies
- Medical applications
Your Challenges
- Developing novel algorithms and solutions for next-generation applications in computational physics
- Maintaining and enhancing our high-performance simulation platforms, including CAD modeling, numerical solvers in electrodynamics, neuronal dynamics, and data postprocessing and visualization
- Participating in all stages of product development, from feature design to production-level implementation
Your Strengths
- University or technical college degree (Bachelor, Master, or PhD) in Information Technology or Computer Sciences, or equivalent knowledge
- Outstanding proficiency in C++ (STL, object-oriented design patterns, multi-threading) with a solid track record of producing high-quality C++ code
- Strong knowledge of algorithms and numerical methods
- Expertise in high-performance computing programming models, especially for GPGPUs (CUDA, OpenCL); familiarity with OpenMP, MPI, cross-platform applications, or user interface development is a plus
- Experience in electrodynamic simulations, particularly for medical technology industry applications, is highly advantageous
- A passion for designing high-quality, user-friendly, and reliable software
- A strong sense of responsibility, maintaining the highest quality standards
- Self-motivation, excellent organizational and communication skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit
- Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and work independently in a fast-paced environment while meeting tight deadlines
- Commitment to meeting the needs of partners and customers
- Proficiency in English (both written and spoken); ability to communicate in German is a plus
Our Offer
- A vibrant, multicultural, and innovative work environment that drives key technologies while promoting diversity and inclusion
- Access to state-of-the-art laboratories, high-performance computing clusters, and production facilities
- A creative mix of global talents spanning physics, electronics, mathematics, biology, and more, striving for excellence and high ethical standards
- Flexible working hours in the heart of Zurich
