Job description
The Mobile and Wireless Internet (MWI) group at i2CAT is looking for an Engineer/Researcher to work on energy optimization topics within the framework of the SNS BeGREEN project
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.
The Engineer/Researcher will carry out experimental research evaluating the power saving mechanisms available in compute platforms used to instantiate 5G network functions (e.g. management of CPU states). The successful candidate will also work on the development of algorithms that can best exploit the available power saving mechanisms to minimize power consumption without affecting traffic performance.
The successful candidate will be part of the O-RAN team within MWI-SDWN directly contributing to BeGreen WP4, attending meetings and contributing to the project deliverables and publications. The successful candidate will report to a senior researcher of the theam and collaborate with other junior and senior researchers at MWI that focus on 5G and Open RAN topics and are also contributing to the BeGreen project.
The candidates responsabilities include:
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.

Where will you do it?
At i2CAT we already have an established ‘work-from-home’ policy for some time. You can work from home or from the office, whichever suits you best. We expect that you attend the office two days per week: one to stay connected with your team and another one to engage with other colleagues
If you decide to come to the office, we are located in Zona Universitària, next to the Campus Nord of the UPC, within a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. It is a very well-connected area (metro, tram, bus) with bars and restaurants around.
Our offices are designed with an open-office concept where everything is light and transparency. We have a variety of workspaces so that you don't have to be at the same table all day.
i2CAT is an organization committed to equal opportunities. That is why we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourage female candidates to apply.
I2CAT is an organization committed to creating an environment where we celebrate diversity, and where we provide the dedicated support that our employees need, regardless of their disability.
