Huawei is a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. Through our constant dedication to customer-centric innovation and strong partnerships, we have established leading end-to-end capabilities and strengths across the carrier networks, enterprise, consumer, and cloud computing fields. Our products and solutions have been deployed in over 170 countries serving more than one third of the world’s population.
With 20+ sites across Europe and 1500 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) oversees fundamental and applied technology research, academic research cooperation projects, and strategic technical planning across our network of European R&D facilities. Huawei’s ERI includes the Zurich Research Center (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland.
A major element of ZRC is a rapidly growing research laboratory focused on fundamental research in the area of computing systems (new hardware, new software, new algorithms).
The research work of the lab will be carried out not only by Huawei’s internal research staff but also by our academic research partners in universities across Europe. The lab provides an open research environment where academics will be encouraged to visit and work on fundamental long-term research alongside with Huawei staff across the globe in an environment that, like the best universities and research institutes, is open and conducive to such world-leading scientific work.
For the rapidly growing Computing Systems Lab at Zurich Research Center, we are looking for candidates for a senior researcher position.
Senior Researcher in AI Computing Systems
AI accelerators have revolutionized the field of deep learning by providing unprecedented levels of computational power optimized for matrix operations and neural network training. Huawei’s Ascend AI processors, equipped with the DaVinci architecture, incorporate matrix multiplication core units that deliver impressive AI processing capabilities, enhancing tasks like model training and inference.
We work on discovering the requirements and optimizations for the next generations of AI computing systems. Within the scope of this role, successful candidates should be interested in pushing the envelope on the state-of-the-art in algorithmic design, development and modeling for AI accelerators and entire AI computing systems. In particular, the research focus includes the following items:
