Research Scientist - Scientific Simulation on AI Infrastructure (Fixed Contract)

For the Computing Systems Laboratory, Huawei is hiring Postdoctoral Researchers for an optimization-related high-performance computing platform. Over the next 1-2 years, the focus is on solving foundational scientific problems in high performance distributed- and shared-memory parallel optimization, aiming for publications in top scientific magazines. The platform is designed to address industrial optimization problems either on-premises or as-a-Service. The project initially runs for one year, with continuation depending on project outcomes.

• Re-platforming the physics by porting the solver core to the AI stack, including differentiable-programming frameworks, batched multipole algebra on accelerator fleets, and mixed precision with certified error control.
• Building better methodology, addressing open problems such as inverse design in the space of physically admissible scattering operators, safeguarding approximate forward models against optimizers, statistical yield-aware design, and scalable design-space representations.
• Driving publications on certified-efficiency frameworks, fabrication-constrained multipole bounds, objective-integrity methodology, and the re-platforming process.
• Owning the lab-validation path, including design, fabrication partner, measurement protocol, and maintaining a closed sim-to-lab loop.
• Managing commercial conversations related to certified, manufacturable design capabilities and selecting the first transfer target to prove method efficiency.
