European Research Institute (ERI)
With 28 sites across Europe and 2,000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) is at the forefront of fundamental and applied technology research. The ERI facilitates academic research cooperation projects and strategic technical planning through a network of European R&D facilities. One of its key components, the Zurich Research Centre (ZRC) in Switzerland, houses a state-of-the-art research laboratory dedicated to exploring the first generation of composable-native computing infrastructure, focusing on the integration of scale-up and scale-out fabrics.
The research conducted in this lab will not only involve Huawei’s internal research staff but will also engage academic research partners from leading universities across Europe. Our lab fosters an “open research environment,” encouraging academic collaboration and enabling researchers to engage in fundamental, long-term studies alongside Huawei personnel.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct cutting-edge research to develop the first-generation of composable-native computer systems, achieving maximum elasticity and independent scaling of compute, memory, and I/O. This involves the vertical integration of applications, parallel programming, computer networks, interconnects, and computer architecture.
- Develop and prototype new architectural features and enhancements.
- Produce and present research papers at prestigious conferences and write white papers addressing current developments and future research directions.
- Establish and maintain collaborative research partnerships with leading universities and academic professionals.
- Mentor junior researchers and interns, fostering their growth in the research domain.
Requirements
- PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
- A strong background in Computer Interconnects, Computer Architecture, and High-Performance Computing (HPC).
- Proven track record of publishing research papers in top-tier conferences or journals.
- Creativity and the ability to innovate and develop unique technologies.
- Research experience and/or strong knowledge in several of the following areas:
- Parallel programming models such as MPI, OpenSHMEM, or Collectives.
- Network stack, architecture, and systems within datacenters such as RoCE or Ultra-Ethernet, or supercomputer clusters like InfiniBand, Slingshot, or Gemini/Aries.
- Scale-up fabrics like PCIe, CXL, NVLink, UPI, or IF.
- RPC protocols and stacks such as gRPC or Thrift.
- Knowledge of Deep Learning, Recommenders, and Generative AI, hardware-software co-design, or cloud computing is advantageous.
- Excellent intercultural communication, coordination, presentation, and reporting skills, with the capacity to work effectively in a research-oriented environment.
- Strong interpersonal skills, a collaborative spirit, and the ability to work independently.
What We Offer
- Highly competitive salary.
- The opportunity to lead pioneering projects in one of the most dynamic sectors of the technology industry.
- Budget for conferences, courses, and networking opportunities with top-tier professors from institutions like ETH, EPFL, and more.
- Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies.
