Software Engineer - High-Performance Computing (EP-SFT-2026-137-LD)

Software Engineer - High-Performance Computing (EP‑SFT‑2026‑137‑LD)

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

Introduction

This role focuses on improving and evolving software developed in the EP‑SFT group such as Geant4 and ROOT, two core software frameworks used for particle physics simulation and data analysis at CERN and laboratories worldwide. The position involves optimising and redesigning key components to run efficiently on modern high-performance computing systems, with a strong emphasis on GPU acceleration and large-scale para...
