DARE

Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe (DARE) is a large-scale European Supercomputing project. DARE aims to develop prototype HPC and AI systems based on EU-designed and developed industry-standard chiplets, using the latest silicon technology nodes to achieve the highest performance and energy efficiency.

This 3-year, 38 partners initiative, with a budget of €240 million and supported by EuroHPC, will develop a complete supercomputing compute stack, featuring high-performance and energy-efficient processors designed and developed in Europe. DARE project is the first phase of an HPC-specific European Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) program with a span of 6+ years.

Description:

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) leads the DARE project and is offering 53 engineering positions at all levels of the compute stack.

Open roles include:

  • Microarchitecture simulator engineers
  • RTL developers
  • Verification engineering
  • EDA tool experts
  • CI/CD experts
  • Software developers
  • Computational library designers
  • Hardware AI engineers.

As part of an international team, you will participate in the foundational development of the next generation European supercomputers.

Recruitment process

All applications must be submitted through the BSC website and include:

  • A complete CV in English, including contact details.
  • A cover/motivation letter with a statement of interest in English, clearly specifying the area and specific topics the applicant wishes to be considered for. Two contacts for additional references must also be included. Applications without this document will not be considered.

The selection will be carried out through a competitive examination system. The selection process consists of two phases:

  1. Curriculum Analysis: Evaluation of previous experience and/or scientific history, degree, training, and other professional information relevant to the position. - 40 points.
  2. Interview Phase: The best-rated candidates at the curriculum level will be invited to the interview phase, conducted by the corresponding department and Human Resources. This phase will assess the technical skills, knowledge, professional experience related to the position, as well as the personal competencies required. - 60 points.

Each selection process includes a recruitment panel. This panel will consist of at least three people, ensuring a representation of women of 1/3, or at least 25% of the panel members.

In accordance with OTM-R principles, a gender-balanced hiring panel is formed for each vacancy at the beginning of the process. After reviewing the application contents, the panel will begin interviews, with at least one technical interview and one competency interview. At a minimum, a personality questionnaire and a technical exercise will be conducted during the process.

The panel will make a final decision, and all candidates who participated in the interview phase will receive feedback detailing the acceptance or rejection of their profile.
