Job Description

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.
In this job opening, we are seeking a highly motivated and visionary researcher to join our team focused on chiplet-based computing systems. This role involves research and development in chiplet-based architectures, aiming to overcome performance and scalability limits of traditional compute platforms.
Responsibilities:

• Conduct cutting-edge research to design chiplet-based systems, with a focus on enabling high-bandwidth and low-latency interconnects across chiplets.

• Investigate various aspects of system design, including:

o Topology exploration, routing algorithms, protocol and flow control design
o Chiplet placement and interposer design strategies
o Fault tolerance and redundancy for yield and reliability
o Programming models and compiler/runtime support

• Prototype and evaluate new architectural innovations, including NoC (Network-on-Chip) enhancements and memory hierarchy design.

• Contribute to long-term research strategy through technical leadership, white papers, and vision documents.

• Publish high-quality research in top-tier conferences and journals (e.g., ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, ASPLOS, etc.).

Requirements:

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

• Strong background in interconnection networks and computer architecture is a must.

• Demonstrated research expertise in one or more of the following areas:

o Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture, including routing, flow control, topologies, and performance modeling
o Packaging technologies (e.g., 2.5D/3D integration, silicon interposers)
o Programming models and hardware/software interfaces (e.g., load/store, message-passing, RDMA, shared memory models)
o System-level modeling and simulation (e.g., cycle-accurate simulators)

• Proven publication record in relevant peer-reviewed venues.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and system-level thinking skills.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a cross-disciplinary team.

Why join us:

• Collaborate with world-class scientists and engineers in an open, curiosity-driven environment;

• Access to state-of-the-art technology and tools;

• Opportunities for professional growth and development;

• Competitive salary, and a high quality of life in Zurich, at the center of Europe;

• Last but certainly not least: be part of innovative projects that make a difference.
