[ICS-2402] Call for expression of interest for one (1) position of a Research and Development Engineer, in the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH)

We seek one (1) Hardware R&D Engineer for our team. The candidates should have proven experience with RISC-V or ARM architectures with strong background in building FPGA and system prototypes. The candidates will participate in the R&D activities of FORTH-ICS in the context of the EuroHPC JU project Plasma-PEPSC. Plasma science has been at the forefront of HPC for several decades, driving and at the same time benefiting greatly from innovative hardware and software developments. The overall goal of Plasma-PEPSC is to take this development to the next level, enabling scientific breakthroughs in plasma science Grand Challenges through exascale computing and extreme-scale data analytics. Specifically, the project aims to enable unprecedented simulations on current pre-exascale and future exascale platforms in Europe to control plasma-material interfaces, optimize magnetically confined fusion plasmas, design next-generation plasma accelerators and predict space plasma dynamics in the Earth’s magnetosphere. These goals will be achieved by maximizing the parallel performance and efficiency of four European flagship plasma codes with a large user base: BIT, GENE, PIConGPU, and Vlasiator. The project will build on algorithmic advances (regarding load balancing, resilience, and data compression) as well as on programming model and library developments (MPI, accelerator and data movement APIs and runtimes, in-situ data analysis). Plasma-PEPSC brings together an exceptional, interdisciplinary group of highly-recognized leading scientists from academia, research centres, and HPC centres, with decades of experience in algorithmic and method developments, extreme-scale plasma simulations, and application optimizations with high involvement in strategic EuroHPC projects and initiatives.
