Research Engineer - HPC memory systems (RE1)
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain.
It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe.
The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress.
BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D; into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over **** staff from 60 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research.
The Memory Systems group in the Computer Science Department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is offering a full-time research engineer position for a project that explores advanced memory systems for AI applications.
The performance of AI models is typically limited by the memory wall.
In this project, we aim to (re)move this wall by designing memory systems tailored to the requirements of AI models.
Additionally, we will consider near-data processing architectures that offload part of the CPU/GPU processing to the memory system.




The project is conducted in close collaboration with a major memory manufacturer.
Most of the development will take place on high-end hardware products and industrial prototypes.
We strongly encourage applications from candidates interested in joining a research team with over a decade of experience in industrial projects with major hardware companies from the US, China, and Korea.
Profiling and performance modeling of HPC applications running on high-end servers with advanced memory systems: Prototyping of industrial products and tools.
Close interaction and reporting to industrial partners.
Benchmarking and performance analysis of high-end hardware products and industrial prototypes.
BSc, MSc or PhD in Computer Science
Experience with Unix/Linux environments
Programming languages (C/C++, Python)
Fluency in English is essential
The position will be located at BSC within the Computer Sciences Department
We offer a full-time contract (35h/week), a good working environment, a highly stimulating environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure, versátil working hours, extensive training plan, restaurant tickets, private health insurance, support to the relocation procedures
Duration: Open-ended contract due to technical and scientific activities linked to the project and budget duration
Holidays: 22 days of holidays + 6 personal days + 24th and 31st of December per our collective agreement
We are pleased to consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability or any other basis protected by applicable state or local law.
