Job Description: We are currently seeking a highly qualified, self-motivated postdoctoral associate to accelerate an ongoing research project on photonics hardware for High Performance Computing networking and interconnects. As a postdoc at HPE Labs, you will architect and develop simulators and simulation tools for photonics hardware, such as Optical Circuit Switches and interconnects, architect and develop High Performance Computing workloads and applications to exercise, evaluate, and optimize the simulators and tools developed in the context of this project. HPE Labs is an international research organization with its headquarters and largest facility located in Milpitas, California. As the central research organization for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), HPE Labs' purpose is to deliver breakthrough technologies and technology advancements that provide a competitive advantage for the company, by investing in fundamental science and technology in areas of interest to HPE and getting the resulting technologies ready for adoption into new and existing markets. Our research team is diverse, with a broad range of skillsets and expertise that enables the exploration and development of new ideas not possible in more traditional monolithic research organizations. We are seeking highly qualified candidates to join one of our research teams as a postdoctoral associate, with the possibility of longer-term co-innovation and collaboration. We are particularly interested in individuals with a background in computer systems, computer architecture, with a good understanding of the current state of the art, major trends and opportunities, and a demonstrated track record in making things real in innovative ways. The ideal candidate combines this interest with a broad, entrepreneurial interest in creating the next generation of HPE’s products and technologies. We expect all our researchers (including interns and postdocs) to provide thought leadership and technical influence both internally and externally to HPE, as well as take innovative ideas and make them real, contributing along the full range from initial novel ideas to design, development, implementation, evaluation, and technology transfer. The ideal candidate can thrive in an applied research environment, balancing significant technical and scientific contributions with the ability to bring such contributions to practice through innovative solutions that address the needs of our customers and partners. We expect the successful candidate to collaborate with HPE Labs research teams as well as with external partners, and to work in alignment with HPE's broader innovation community. Excellent software systems building skills are a significant plus.
