About Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe
Fujitsu Laboratories Limited has had a presence on the European research and development scene since 1990 when it established its first facility in the UK, followed shortly by others in France and Germany, to undertake advanced research in telecommunications, information technology and computational science.
In 2001 these operations were merged to form Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe Limited. (FLE)
Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe aims to make future technologies a reality for today’s businesses. By acting as a portal between technology and business, we can shorten the research and development cycle enabling our customers to enjoy the benefits of cutting edge technologies and put them to use to gain competitive advantage.
Our people
As you would expect, we have a highly-qualified, multidisciplinary team of researchers, drawn from a wide range of nationalities and cultures. Their skills and expert knowledge can be quickly deployed to meet the demand for ever-more sophisticated technologies which provide tangible benefits both for business and the wider community.
Collaborative Activities
Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe works in close conjunction with leading academics and experts from both the public and private sectors. We collaborate with leading universities across the continent to ensure that our expertise is pooled with that of the pioneers in any given field of research. We also participate in a number of EU research initiatives where the joint expertise of industry and academia is brought together to accelerate the development and use of new technologies Europe-wide.
In order to ensure our groundbreaking work is aligned with the future needs of the business community, Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe maintains close partnerships with leading corporate organisations and key customers. Our aim is to communicate as much as possible with business end-users, to provide a focal point for the research community and promote the business advantages of new technologies.
Fujitsu Laboratories’ worldwide research focuses on:
- Establishing a more convenient society
Creating non-stop information systems that regulate themselves like living things - Communicating anywhere, anytime
Creating seamless networks that connect everyone and everything - Supporting safe and secure lifestyles
Creating biometric security technology in which your body is your key - Promoting a cleaner, greener world
Creating energy-saving, eco-friendly technology to conserve the environment - Making interfaces effortless
Creating computers that can communicate naturally with people
Demonstration Centre
We have an on-site Demonstration Centre where customers can see our technology in action. Why not make an appointment to come and speak directly with our experts about your business needs and learn more about how our innovations can enhance the security, performance and efficiency of your systems and organisation.
Forum
In February 2006 we held our first European Technology Forum with the aim not only of demonstrating the latest inventions to emerge from Fujitsu’s laboratories but also to provide an opportunity for our customers and eminent professionals from the worlds of commerce and research to get together and discuss the significance and applications of the next generation of technology. This is now a prestigious annual event which in 2008 will be held in June at Merchant Taylors’ Hall in the City of London "Fujitsu European Technology Forum 2008".

Services and Solutions Research Division
Tuesday, 4 August 2009
Research Division Overview
Services and Solutions Research Division (SSR) is a relatively small, dynamic team providing novel solutions to the harder problems in distributed systems, such as Cloud Computing,. We are currently expanding our development portfolio to include environmentally focused solutions. Our outputs are prototype products and services, technical strategies, standards, and patents aimed at improving the quality and competiveness of Fujitsu products and services. Our current research and development activities include green technology for data centers and technology for Platform and a Service (PaaS) and Cloud Computing.
Person Specification
Candidates should be comfortable working in a research environment and be prepared to change and adapt on both short and long-term timescales. The generation of new ideas and their presentation inside and outside the group should come naturally on technical and non-technical levels. These interactions are usually across international and cultural boundaries and are often in the context of international projects or work in standards bodies.
Candidates are expected to be driven, self-motivated and goal focused; able to plan and finish tasks on time to a high standard, keen to learn about new technologies; and able to turn ideas into services and products.
Role
The successful candidate will develop new ideas that reduce the CO2 produced by economic activities. The group is currently looking at making the operation of data centers more efficient through a holistic approach to their management using an approach that combines an understanding of the important processes (from the mechanical and electrical infrastructure, through the IT equipment to the services provided by the data centre) with simulation integrated into management processes. The successful candidate will contribute to this area, but also be expected to develop new applications of this holistic approach to other areas such as smart grids or mobile networks.
Principal Responsibilities
- Develop new ideas combining an understanding of system, business and human processes with understanding the physical and engineering characteristics.
- Architect solutions that implement these ideas in the real world.
- Implement in code from proof of concept through to near production quality that realizes these solutions.
- Socialise the ideas inside and outside Fujitsu.
Skills
In SSR the development of new skills is the norm rather than the exception, so specific skills are not required, but any of the following would be useful:
- Able to express ideas in proof of concept and production quality code
- A background in engineering or applied physics with a broadly technical education and interest in applying new ideas to new areas
- Adaptable, willing to learn new fields and develop new skill sets
- Environmental/Green experience or interest
- Mathematical modeling and simulation (e.g. process modeling, queuing theory, ...)
- Communication skills, report writing and presentation skills
- Numerical analysis and related software systems
- Project management and administration
- Java design and development
- PhD in a relevant field
- Software engineering processes
- Technical expertise in a particular area, e.g. security, networking, etc.
