Research Engineer in Networked Systems - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

Internet networks are essential to our society. Yet, recent trends have shown a growing friction between the assumptions made decades ago and the unprecedented scale at which today's networks operate. Global electricity consumption of datacenter networks are expected to rise from 1% to 20% by 2030. To reduce energy usage, operators must today accurately capture low-level details of all the devices in a network and their traffic characteristics. As an example, the throughput of a network card may drop by 90% depending on the incoming traffic. In this position, you will be part of an ambitious research agenda that aims at developing new network synthesis methods that guarantee performance and robustness requirements.

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
