The AI-driven Systems Research Area lead by ICREA's Professor Xavier Costa is looking for a talented 6G (Senior) Research Engineer with a strong background in physics, mobile networks, and software engineering.The Scientific group focuses its research and development activities on new challenging concepts, such as network/RAN virtualization, network programmability, network slicing, mmwave, smart surfaces, etc., with a particular interest in their applications towards the society digital transformation. Expected 6G use cases, such as AI-based automation of mobile networks, mission-critical communications, and wireless sensing, will be carefully evaluated, and corresponding solutions will be designed and implemented in our lab premises.The work focuses on the analytical evaluation of solutions designed as well as proof of concepts both for public and industrial R&D projects in collaboration with industrial and academic partners. The selected candidate will complement the ISAC research line skill set in the area of physics, software development, and project management.Work objectives are concept studies and evaluation, research prototype software development, publications as well as IPR creation. The research work will be carried out in an international team of researchers.The i2CAT Foundation is a non-profit research and innovation center that promotes mission-driven R&D activities on advanced Internet architectures, applications, and services. More than 15 years of international research define our expertise in the fields of 5G, IoT, VR, and Immersive Technologies, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, AI, and Digital Social Innovation. The center partners with companies, public administration, academia, and end-users to leverage this knowledge to meet real social and business challenges.The greatest value of i2CAT is the talent of the people who make up our human team. We enjoy a team of people from more than 13 different nationalities and work every day to create and foster a work environment where we all feel comfortable creating, innovating, and growing.RequirementsPhD degree in Physics, Telecommunications, or Computer ScienceResearch publications in top-tier venuesExcellent academic recordMobile network architecture and protocolsArtificial Intelligence basicsElectronic basicsPrototyping for PoC demonstrationsNice to have:Participation in EU funded research projectsInternational experienceExperience preparing project proposalsExperience with IDE frameworks, e.g., pytorch ...Practical experience with commercial network equipmentAccess points, base stations, switches, EPC, ...Software-defined Radio (SDR) such as FPGA (e.g., NI USRP), mmwave COTSWhere will you do it?At i2CAT, we already have an established 'work-from-home' policy for some time.
