Big Data Engineer

The i2CAT Foundation is a research and innovation center which promotes mission-oriented R+D+i activities on advanced Internet architectures, applications and services. The centre stands up for a new open innovation framework, fostering the collaboration between companies, public administration, the academic environment and end-users.

i2CAT has a wide experience in multiple national and European R+D+i projects, leading research lines in new fixed & mobile network architectures, wireless sensor networks, Big Data and AI, and content-based multimedia technologies.

Our Open Big Data research area in i2CAT is currently involved in three H2020 projects funded by the European Commission about Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Firstly SHIELD, where we apply Deep Learning to cybersecurity traces. Secondly MUV, a sustainable mobility project where we apply ML techniques to prepare (clean, enrich, integrate, curate) data. Finally BOOST, where we develop a technology called Data Slicing, where data is seen as a resource which can be dynamically accessed by multiple users with different needs at the same time

The area is looking for a researcher in the fields of computer science or telecommunication engineering with passion for development and who is willing to be involved in exciting Research and Innovation projects. The successful candidate will lead developments in the three mentioned projects, participating in the writing of deliverables and papers, as well as taking responsibility in leading work packages and tasks with other partners around Europe.
