We seek a research software engineer within the EuroHPC Centre of Excellence MICROCARD with a focus on the cardiac electrophysiology simulator openCARP. MICROCARD develops an application platform for cardiac electrophysiology simulations that is usable for cell-by-cell simulations, tailored for exascale High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. The platform is co-designed by HPC experts, numerical scientists, biomedical engineers, and biomedical scientists.

In collaboration with the partners in the consortium, you will advance, maintain and deploy openCARP as a production-ready simulation platform for cardiac electrophysiology with a focus on parallel programming. In particular, you will

• coordinate and integrate software contributions to openCARP (GPU support, distributed memory parallel programming, new numerical schemes),
• operate and optimize the CI/CD/CB (Continuous Integration, Delivery and Benchmarking) infrastructure, and
• support users of the software through our established communication platforms.

You are an open and ambitious team player motivated to strive for creative and sustainable solutions? We provide a cooperative and communication-oriented environment in the Computational Cardiac Modeling Group at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and direct involvement in cutting edge research projects as a Research Software Engineer.

You completed a PhD or Master’s degree in a relevant field? You have experience in parallel programming (GPU and/or distributed memory), care about your work and are motivated to work in a multidisciplinary team, have good communication skills as well as a good command of English?

In the best case, you have experience in some of the following areas: modeling & simulation of cardiac electrophysiology (openCARP), numerical linear algebra (PETSc, Ginkgo), high performance computing (MPI, GPU programming, Spack packaging),  software design, DevOps, container technology (Docker), open science.
