Software Developer / System Administrator position in Communication Network Division – Optical Networks and Systems Department

The Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) is a non-profit research institution based in Castelldefels (Barcelona), resulting from a public initiative of the Regional Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya).

Research activities at the CTTC, both fundamental and applied, mainly focus on technologies related to the physical, data-link and network layers of communication systems, and to the Geomatics.

Started in 2001 with young graduates, with engineering or PhD degrees, it is currently the only research institutions where research and technology development are combined to provide response in the range of precompetitive research and engineering demonstration models. During the last ten years we have managed to transform enthusiasm and capability, as the dominant skills, into competence, yet preserving the initial motivation for advanced research and innovation.

It is our vision that research and technology development in communications, although starting from a public initiative, can be integrated in the competitive R&D market to rely on the private initiative in the long term (20-30 years). This vision implies to perform globally both in terms of research and engineering and to select partners heading for international R&D markets. Our model consists in starting new activities both in research and engineering from young graduates really committed with research and development in engineering. The institution provides an adaptive and flexible environment, where personal position, responsibilities and rewards are strongly related with research and engineering reputation. Resources are dynamically associated to new projects in a structured scheme, i.e. AENOR UNE 166002:2014 Quality on R&D. The institution checks yearly personnel’s motivation for R&D with an anonymous poll.
