Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Researcher.
About the team:
The Intelligent Real-Time Operating System Lab focuses on OS architecture, concurrency challenges, and optimal resource management for diverse use cases such as the compute required for AI/ML. This lab aims to innovate operating system designs for mixed-criticality environments that exceed traditional methods. The focus of this lab is to develop next-generation OS platform support to enable high performance, maximum concurrency and challenging resource management with ML/AI agents or services. Our goal is to ensure enhanced performance and reliability in increasingly complex environments that embedded devices at the edge presents.
About the job:
Collect, analyze, and distill the latest research on OS concepts such as scheduling, synchronization, distributed service/state mgmt., IPC, and isolation techniques.
Lead and collaborate on research and implementation of advanced OS technologies, including but not limited to: IPC/Communication optimization, QoS control and partitioning/isolation, resource allocation and control. As well as, distributed error recovery/failover and safety.
Explore optimization opportunities for communication, boot and recovery execution speed based on the latest research progress.
About the ideal candidate:
PhD degree in Computer Science, Operating Systems, Applied Mathematics, or related technical fields.
Knowledge in Operating Systems architecture and design, CPU architecture and Computer Systems theory.
Experience in theoretical and empirical research Opearting Systems.
Proficient in programming languages for system software such as, C/C++, Assembly and Rust.
Ability to apply, evaluate, and modify subsystems of existing Operating systems such as, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, FreeRTOS etc.
Interpersonal skills, cross-group, and cross-culture collaboration.
2+ years of work/internship experience in a university, industry, or government lab(s), in a role with primary emphasis on computer Operating Systems research is an asset.
Publications at top Operating Systems conferences such as SOSP, SIGOPS, IEEE or Linux Kernel summits are assets.
