Senior Researcher:
Next-generation Computer Fabrics for General Purpose and AI

Huawei’s vision is to enrich lives through communication and intelligent innovation. As a global leader in information and communications technology (ICT), Huawei drives innovation in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and smart device technologies. Through its Carrier, Enterprise, and Consumer business groups, the company delivers advanced Network Infrastructure, Cloud and AI Platforms, and industry-leading devices. Huawei supports 45 of the world’s top 50 telecom operators and serves one-third of the global population, with operations in over 170 countries and a workforce of more than 200,000 employees.

Huawei Technologies Switzerland AG contributes to this innovation through cutting- edge research, with offices in Zurich and Lausanne focusing on High-Performance Computing, Computer Architecture, Computer Vision, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Neuromorphic Computing, Wireless Technologies, Networking, and related fields.

• Conduct cutting- edge research to build the first- generation of composable- native computer systems, allowing maximum elasticity and independent scaling of compute, memory, and IO, with the vertical integration of applications, parallel programming, computer networks and interconnects, and computer architecture.
• Develop and prototype new architectural features and improvements.
• Produce and present research papers at top- tier conferences, and write white papers on current developments and future research directions.
• Establish and maintain research partnerships with leading universities and professors.
• Mentor junior researchers and interns.

• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
