JOB: Research Vacancy: Research Associate in Advanced Mechantronics Systems (Department of Physics and Astronomy)
The Department of Physics and Astronomy is currently advertising for the following research post:
Research Associate- Advanced Mechatronics Systems
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Fixed-term for 12 months
Grade 7, £30,688- £38,833 per annum
Closing date: 16 August 2018
We are seeking to appoint a Research Associate to work on a project concerned with the design and development of disruptive technologies used for robotic integration with mechanical and electronic systems. The research aim is to provide developed and evaluated platform technologies for later adoption by critical high value manufacturing industries engaging with the Industry 4.0 agenda.
The successful candidate will hold a PhD (or be close to completion) in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Control Systems Engineering or a relevant science or engineering discipline (or equivalent experience). The post holder will have expertise in mechanical and electronics engineering, with robust mechatronic system design and advanced robotic programming and will work closely with the other members of the research and commercial team to ensure that the project progresses to higher technology readiness levels. The role involves planning and executing research, design, management and development of tasks relating to advanced vision & tracking hardware development of multi-agent robotic and control systems.
The post will involve developing and operating integrated robotic and vision tracking systems for prototyping and commercial demonstration. Researching potential solutions from literature review and face to face meetings will be required in order to develop a detailed understanding of the needs of the customer base and industry. A high level of support for both analytical technique development using embedded electronic hardware and software for multi-agent data acquisition and control systems is required.
Applications should be submitted via https://bit.ly/2LiLdwO. The job reference is UOS019713.
