Intern - System Software Research

Huawei's vision is to enrich life through communication. We are a fast growing and leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider.

Driven by a commitment to operations, ongoing innovation, and open collaboration, we have established a competitive ICT portfolio of end-to-end solutions in Telecom and enterprise networks, Devices and Cloud technology and services.

Huawei is active in more than 170 countries and has over 197,000 employees of which more than 80,000 are engaged in research and development (R&D). With us you have the opportunity to work in a dynamic, multinational environment with more than 150 nationalities worldwide.

Huawei's Hilbert Research Center mission in Dresden is to explore programming models, operating system and virtualization technologies on multicore heterogeneous architectures and NVM/SCM platforms, aiming to provide a high-performance, reliable abstraction layer for efficient resource utilization. DRC focuses its technical research in the key areas of Smart Mobile, Telecom, Autonomous Driving, Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0.

DRC's research and development are mainly focused on system software and map technology.

DRC’s system software research focuses on Operating Systems (OS), concurrency theory, software-hardware co-design on modern hardware, and virtualization technologies etc. Topics of interest include microkernel and hypervisor development, formal verification of concurrent software, operating systems and modern hardware; dependability, reliability, safety and security certification; many-core scalability and performance; flexibility of operating system architectures, heterogeneous hardware, virtualization and innovative technologies for the Linux kernel.

The research of DRC’s Map Technology Team focuses on Geoinformatics technologies, including but not limited o Remote Sensing, Computer Vision, GIScience, Photogrammetry, and Big Data. The vision of the team is to investigate the next-generation map data (2D and 3D) construction techniques. And its mission is to address the challenging scientific and technical questions in building high geometric and semantic quality, high definition, multi-dimensional, and real-time datasets.

In recent years, many of DRC's research results have been published at top-tier conferences such as ASPLOS, SOSP, OSDI and USENIX ATC etc. Moreover, its research and development results have been well implemented in Huawei's internal product lines and have made significant improvements in the performance of related products. In addition, DRC has developed various types of extensive cooperation with European universities and enterprises by establishing Joint Innovation and Joint Labs, sponsoring academic and technical exchange activities, providing funding for professorships to renowned universities and jointly training industrial Ph.D. students with renowned academic institutions such as the TU Dresden, TU Braunschweig, and Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, etc.

With rapid growth, DRC is looking to expand its highly international team (10+ different countries) of 40+ top CS researchers and software engineers.
