Lab Director - Storage Systems
If you are enthusiastic in shaping Huawei’s European Research Institute together with a multicultural team of leading researchers, this is the right opportunity for you!
Lab Director - Future Storage Systems
Overview
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 28 sites across Europe and 2000 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 new Zurich Research Centre (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland. A major element of ZRC is a new research laboratory focused on research in the area of computing systems (new computing and storage 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 will provide an “open research environment” where academics will be encouraged to visit and work on fundamental long-term research alongside Huawei staff in an environment that, like the best universities and research institutes, is open and conducive to such scientific work.
For the new ZRC Laboratory, we are seeking for the Lab Director in Future Storage Systems.

- In charge of the prototype incubation of new storage architectures and breakthrough in key technologies.
- Be responsible for technical cooperation with top universities in the storage architecture field (Switzerland, Europe, and the world).
- Be responsible for marketing innovative technologies for new storage architectures and building technical influence. (Technical articles/blogs, participation in influential meetings and presentations, participation in relevant standards organizations and influence)
Requirements
- Deeply understand the technology, architecture, product evolution, and innovation trends in the IT domain (storage/computing/cloud).
- Have at least 15 years of technical work experiences in the Enterprise data infrastructure field (software and hardware development, architecture design, and technology planning).
- Have successful experience in designing system-level architectures for HPC/AI related storage systems or data infrastructures.
- Have a deep understanding of and proficient in at least one of the following architectures or technologies: data-centric architecture, composable discrete infrastructure (CDI), data processing units (DPUs), in-store computing, software-hardware accelerator, and HPC/AI infrastructures, disaggregated storage systems, etc.
What we offer:
At the future storage research group at the Huawei Zurich Research Center, the successful candidate will become part of a multicultural team of leading European researchers with expertise spanning from microarchitectures to mathematics. We believe such breadth in the research domains we cover is crucial to succeed in our mission to drive new research and achieve new, innovate breakthroughs for future computing and storage systems.
