Researcher in Electrical Engineering

Job description

We are currently seeking multiple, highly motivated research engineers to join our team in the field of networked systems. As data volume continues to grow exponentially, the importance of network optimization has become increasingly crucial. FPGAs are playing a key role in this area, offering highly parallelized and customizable hardware solutions that process data streams at high speeds with low latency and power consumption. In contrast to general-purpose CPUs, FPGAs offer significant performance gains by executing customized and optimized code directly on the hardware, without the overhead of software abstraction layers. As a research engineer with our team, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that optimize network applications, utilizing the power of FPGAs. The main responsibility of this position is to contribute to our current projects in the domain of network functions. You will also explain to the rest of the team members about FPGA technology.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and get settled in Sweden and at KTH
• A position in a group that aims to publish papers at the flagship conferences in network systems.
• A large group of colleagues working on network-based applications.
• A cutting-edge testbed with 100s of computing cores, programmable network devices, such as FPGAs, terabit-per-second programmable switches, SmartNICs, and more.
