[ICS-1181] Two (2) positions, one (1) Hardware Design and Test Engineer (full‐time) and one (1) Hardware Design and Test Engineer (part‐time)

We seek two experienced members – Hardware Design and Test engineers ‐for our team, one full time and one part‐time, with background in European Research Projects. The candidates will participate in the R&D activities of FORTH in the context of the project ECOSCALE: Energyefficient Heterogeneous COmputing at exaSCALE. In order to reach exascale performance current HPC servers need to be improved. Simple scaling is not a feasible solution due to the increasing utility costs and power consumption limitations. Apart from improvements in implementation technology, what is needed is to refine the HPC application development as well as the architecture of the future HPC systems. ECOSCALE tackles this challenge by proposing a scalable programming environment and hardware architecture tailored. The full time Engineer will work on system bring up and testing in the context of developing the ECOSCALE testbed. The part time Engineer will perform Integration and Evaluation (performance, power) of the ECOSCALE testbed.
