GPU & ML Developer Reconstruction and Simulation

GPU & ML Developer for Reconstruction and Simulation

Datum: 1 juli, 2026 Tid: 11:59

Placering: CERN

ALICE is pioneering the use of GPUs in Run 3 for the online processing and partly for offline reconstruction. To better leverage available GPU compute resources and improve reconstruction performance, we aim to investigate the use of machine learning.

As a GPU and ML software developer, you will maintain, develop, and commission machine-learning-based GPU event reconstruction code for the ALICE experiment, in particular ML-based and ML-supported clusterisation, and track seeding in the ALICE TPC.

In parallel, you will contribute to ALICE’s Monte Carlo production ecosystem and simulation frameworks, focusing on workflow optimisation. This includes the full MC production infrastructure, simulation frameworks, automation of production, validation and integration of ML and GPU-code, and the development and use of intelligent computing tools across the ALICE computing chain.
