School: School of Engineering Starting date: Your role As part of our research team, you will take a central role in applied research projects in the field of AI for intelligent product quality systems. Your main tasks will include: Developing innovative approaches using state of the art statistical, machine learning and deep learning methods and publish your results in scientific papers. Designing and implement data-driven algorithms and decision making processes for detect of product deviations that may lead to issues. Combining engineering knowledge with data-science techniques (physics-informed machine learning). Collaborating closely with our industry partners in order to implement your algorithms in an operational environment. Workin on projects in diverse application fields with various industry partners. Focusing primarily on algorithm research and development, with relatively little data management/engineering. Co-supervise student research projects. Continouusly developing your technical and scientifics skills, supported by experienced colleagues from the team. Your daily work will typically allow for a high level of flexibility and freedom. In our team you will enjoy an exciting and rewarding working environment, combining close industrial collaboration with multidisciplinary innovative research. The position is limited to one year but may be extended, up to a maximal period of three years. Your profile You hold a Master degree in engineering, physics, computer science, statistics, applied mathematics or a related discipline. Alternatively, you have a Bachelor degree in one of the above with practical experience in applied data science projects. You have programming experience in Python. Experience with TensorFlow and Keras/PyTorch is an ad-vantage. You have experience with applying data analytical and machine learning methods. Experience with deep leaning algorithms is advantageous. You have strong oral and written communication skills in English and preferably also in German. You are curious, eager to learn and develop new methods and algorithms and apply them in real industrial systems. You are motivated to develop your personal research skills, coached by experienced researchers. We encourage applications from proactive and self-motivated candidates with analytical thinking and strong problem-solving passion and abilities, good communication skills and original thinking.
