About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.

Context And Mission
The mission of the Computer Science Department at the BSC is to influence how machines are built, programmed and used: computer and system architecture, programming models and performance tools, resource management, Big Data and artificial intelligence. The HPAI (High-Performance Artificial Intelligence) research group is part of the Computer Science department, and it performs research in Artificial Intelligence, focused on the solutions, problems and infrastructure provided by High-Performance Computing. The group actively collaborates with researchers from other fields, with the goal of applying machine learning to challenging problems in a wide variety of domains. HPAI has active collaborations with several large tech companies, pursuing lines of research of common interest. The group is also involved in multiple European and national research projects. Although HPAI is open to all aspects of AI, its main lines of research are currently large language models, agent systems, explainability, and ethics.
The post holder will work in the HPAI group in the Computer Science Department and will participate mainly in the context of the AI4Europe European project (grant agreement 825619) for several of the project’s tasks, including software engineering, machine learning engineering, infrastructure management, research, and some project management responsibilities.
The Engineer will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, have access to state-of-the-art systems and computational infrastructures, and establish collaborations with experts in different areas at the local and international levels.
