Zusammenfassung

CERN seeks a scientist/software engineer to advance GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo detector simulation, focusing on optical photon transport within the Geant4 framework. You will validate physics against CPU simulations, optimize performance, and integrate into experimental software environments.

You will collaborate with international teams, develop tests, and contribute to long-term software quality and documentation, with a hybrid work setup and 40h/week.

Qualifikationen

• Experience developing scientific or physics-simulation software with C++.
• Experience with GPU programming or heterogeneous computing.
• Experience with software testing, validation, and profiling.
• Knowledge of Monte Carlo methods or optical photon transport.
• Experience in collaborative, international software projects is a plus.

Aufgaben

• Design, develop, and integrate GPU algorithms for optical photon simulation.
• Compare GPU results with established CPU implementations.
• Develop unit, regression, and physics-validation tests.
• Profile applications and optimise performance.
• Collaborate with LHC software teams to integrate GPU transport into simulations.
• Engage with Geant4 community on optical photon simulation.
• Contribute to documentation and long-term software quality.
