The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses Mare Nostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for Euro HPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.

If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

The Critical and Autonomous Systems (CAOS) group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center carries out research on system level software for critical embedded systems in charge of controlling critical application software in domains like automotive, avionics, and space. Our work is mainly carried out in the context of bilateral projects with several companies in the embedded world as well as several European-funded projects. For a complete list of publications of the group in the last years, please visit: www.bsc.es/caos
The deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solutions to deliver advanced software functionalities is consolidating as a key competitive factor in several industrial domains. In the automotive industry, for instance, two examples of such trend are advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) software, which are meant to support autonomous operation and decision making for all aspects in a vehicle, by processing of a massive amount of data coming from multiple sensors like cameras and Li DARs. The entailed computational requirements can only be matched by complex MPSo Cs (Multi-Processor System on Chip) with generic and ah-hoc hardware accelerators. However, MPSo Cs complicate established timing analysis practice.

We are looking for a talented and motivated Research Engineer to join CAOS research efforts in the area of timing analysis of MPSo Cs for the automotive domain, with special focus on the Infineon AURIX family of processors, in reason of their dominant position in the market. The candidate is meant to develop techniques that leverage hardware event monitoring and tracing support in the underlying MPSo C to improve software timing estimates
