Research Engineer - Energy Optimization For 6G

col-wideJob Description:

BeGREEN project will take a holistic view to propose evolving radio networks that not only accommodate increasing traffic and services but also consider power consumption as a factor.
- Develop a testbed for evaluating energy consumption of 5G network functions on existent compute platform
- Carry out performance evaluation to understand impact of compute power saving mechanisms on energy consumption and traffic performance
- Propose and evaluate algorithms that exploit platform power saving mechanisms to reduce energy consumption
- Contribute to deliverables and publications

Besides contributing to the BeGreen project, the expected outcome of the work carried out is to develop a mechanism that adjusts CPU power states to reduce energy consumption in virtualized UPF systems. The designed system should be portable to any x86 or ARM compute platforms.

**Minimum requirements**:

- Bachelor's degree in telecommunications or computer science
- Experience with Linux systems and networking
- Experience coding in Python
- Basic knowledge on 5G, specially on the 5G Core Network
- Basic knowledge of network analysis tools (wireshark, tcpdump, iperf).
- Basict knowledge of python for data analysis
- Good level of English

**Nice to have**:

- Experience coding in C/C++
- Knowledge on CPU management in Linux (c-states, p-states, power control...)
- Knowledge on monitoring and log tools (e.g. Prometheus, ELK)
- Knowledge on radio accesss networks (5G, Wi-Fi)
- Knowledge on the O-RAN architecture.
- Master or PhD in related topics will be valued.
- Experience working in research ecosystems.
- Spanish and Catalan will be valued.
