European Research Institute (ERI)
With 28 sites across Europe and 2,000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) is at the forefront of both fundamental and applied technology research. Our ERI coordinates academic research collaborations and strategic technical planning among our network of European R&D facilities. The Zurich Research Centre (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland, is a key component of the ERI, focusing on pioneering research in composable-native computing infrastructure that integrates scale-up and scale-out fabrics.
The laboratory at ZRC promotes collaborative research, engaging both Huawei's internal researchers and academic partners from prestigious universities across Europe. This “open research environment” facilitates fundamental, long-term investigations that benefit from the innovative atmosphere reminiscent of top-tier universities and research institutes.
Responsibilities
