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 new Zurich Research Center (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland. A major element of ZRC is a new research laboratory focused on fundamental research in the area of computing systems (new hardware, new software, and new algorithms).

The research work of the lab will be carried out for leading experts in the technological area of computing with a strong reputation as academic research partners in universities across the world or in recognized global industries. Zurich Research Center provides and “open research environment” where academics and experts 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.

This is a new role creation for our Zurich Research Center, we are seeking for a Senior Director

Computing Architecture Design Director

Responsibilities

1. Leading the research and innovation on computing architecture and key technologies for wireless applications, i.e. digital signal processing, complex graph-based processing, real-time/low-latency processing etc. Different solutions, e.g. heterogeneous architecture, programmable/reconfigurable architecture, dataflow architecture, tensor core, SoC architecture etc., should be studied to meet the requirements of intensive computing with massive data movement, deterministic latency, on-demand elasticity, energy efficiency and area efficiency.

2. In view of the flexibility and PPA requirements of multiple scenarios and mixed industrial applications in the future, make breakthroughs in SoC architecture, heterogeneous architecture, dataflow architecture, programmable technologies, reconfigurable architecture, computation components, novel storage/DRAM technologies, NoC technologies as well as tool chains.

3. Be responsible for communication and coordination with the HQ, including business alignment, technical communication, and results report. Lead the team to break down and achieve goals, including self-developed projects, cooperation projects, and key technology directions proposals.

Requirements
