Details
of Fellowship Position
Role
Summary
|
Network
Engineer
/
Developer
in the
Information
Technology
Department,
Communication
Systems
Group.
|
Introduction
*:
|
The
Information
Technology
(IT)
Department
provides
the
general
computing
infrastructure
of the
Laboratory
as well
as
dedicated
services
for
physicists,
engineers,
administration
and
management.
The
Department
also
develops
and
deploys
the Grid
computing
infrastructure
for the
LHC
experiments,
leads
the
large
EU-funded
EGEE
project
reaching
well
beyond
particle
physics
and is
involved
in
several
other
related
projects.
IT
collaborates
closely
with
industry
(through
the CERN
openlab
for
DataGrid
applications)
to
develop
advanced
computing
solutions
and to
enable
IT
technology
transfer
in both
directions.
To
provide
its
services,
the IT
Department
relies
primarily
on
commercial
sources,
but
develops
in-house
solutions
when
otherwise
not
available.
To
maintain
the
quality
of its
services,
a key
strategy
of the
Department
is to
develop
the
technical
competence
of its
staff,
recognizing
that
skill
sets
must be
continuously
adapted
to a
rapidly
evolving
technological
environment.
More
information
on the
Department
is at:
http://cern.ch/it-dep/
The
Communication
Systems
(CS)
Group is
in
charge
of the
Networking
Infrastructure
of the
Laboratory
(voice,
video
and
data).
The CERN
Campus
network
is a
very
large
infrastructure
(more
than
50’000
connected
systems)
making
use of
state of
the art
technologies.
The CS
Group is
responsible
for
providing
network
solutions
to a
variety
of
users:
desktops,
high
performance
physics
computing
and the
accelerator
controls.
|
Functions
*:
|
In the
context
of
openlab
(http://www.cern.ch/openlab
), CERN
and HP
Procurve
(http://www.procurve.com)
are
launching
a 3 year
research
project
which
aims to
study
the
Problematic
of global
deployment
of
wireless
in
large
campuses.
Together
with a a
more
experienced
engineer,
and
under
the
supervision
of
senior
Engineers
from
CERN and
HP
Procurve
(Québec,
Canada),
you will
contribute
to a
study on
the
techniques
to
ensure
the
deployment
of
wireless
technologies
in large
campuses
such as
CERN.
You will
work on
the
implementation
of a
wireless
simulator
able to
simulate
various
auto
setup
algorithms,
validate
the
results
on real
installations,
and
collaborate
with
ProCurve
to
implement
these
algorithms
into
their
product
lines.

Qualification
Requirements:
Education
*:
|
University
degree
or
equivalent
in
Telecommunications,
Computer
Science
or
related
field.
|
Experience
and
Knowledge
*:
|
Experience
in 3D
graphics
and
simulation
techniques.
Understanding
of Radio
Frequency
is a
plus.
Excellent

a fellow
position, for
a period
of three
years.
Limited-duration
contracts
shall
terminate
by
default
on their
date of
expiry.
This
position
may
occasionally
require
