Software Developer for ML Training

The successful candidate will join the software development for experiments (SFT) group, which develops and provides support for scientific software for the High Energy Physics experiment collaborations at CERN.

The candidate will work in the context of the Next Generation Trigger (NGT) project on developing a software library to train neural network models on multi-GPU clusters with support for hardware-aware training and parameter optimization. The library will be built from a pipeline of existing software developed at CERN and from external parties, and it will support the development of neural network models as part of NGT.

As part of this project, the candidate is expected to supervise master students and to work in an international team of researchers from CERN partner institutes, in the context of the FastML community.
