Research Engineer (W/M)

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 position, you will operate at the frontier of systems research, bridging the gap between software written in modern high-level languages and the hardware it runs on. We believe that the next great leaps in computing performance will not only come from or software or hardware in isolation but from their co-evolution. You will have the opportunity to influence future hardware designs by prototyping software-driven optimizations.
