Engineer / Postdoctoral Fellow / Project Manager / Research Technician / Researcher / Scientist
Research Software Engineer (f/m/d) Full-time
We seek a research software engineer within the European High Performance Computing project MICROCARD (www.microcard.eu). MICROCARD develops an exascale application platform for cardiac electrophysiology simulations that is usable for cell-by-cell simulations. The platform will be co-designed by HPC experts, numerical scientists, biomedical engineers, and biomedical scientists.
In collaboration with the partners in the consortium, you will advance and deploy a DevOps toolchain for a production-ready simulation platform for cardiac electrophysiology. In particular, integrating cutting-edge linear preconditioner and solver technology delivered by the numerics experts into the openCARP simulator will be a key task. Moreover, you will advance a web-based system providing simple and secure access to the simulator.
The KIT mission combines the three strategic lines of activity of research, higher education, and innovation. With about 9,300 employees and 26,000 students, KIT is one of the big institutions of research and higher education in the natural sciences and engineering in Europe.
Personal qualification
You are an open and ambitious team player motivated to strive for creative and sustainable solutions? We provide a cooperative and communication-oriented environment in the Computational Cardiac Modeling Group at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering.
