Postdoc Position in Drone System Design with Experience in Autonomous Navigation and Control
The section Digital and High-Frequency Electronics at the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is opening a new position at the level of Post-Doctoral Researcher.
The application deadline is November 10, 2024, at 11.59 PM/23.59 (CET/CEST)
The section focuses on conducting research in digital and high-frequency electronics, embedded systems, control, and communication, utilizing cutting-edge reconfigurable computing and sensors. The aim is to develop next-generation electronics and computing solutions that solve technology-related challenges in fields such as autonomous robots, drones, Io T, smart grid, and healthcare.
The section is a vital component of our educational programs in electrical engineering in Odense, offering Bachelor’s and Master of Science degrees in Electronics Engineering. Currently, the section focuses on two research fields: 1) Drones for Infrastructure Inspections and Interactions ( https://www.sdu.dk/da/diii ) and 2) Chip design and Neuromorphic computing. Over the next few years, the section is expected to expand to include at least 20 academics, including Ph D students and engineers, to support research, industrial collaboration, and educational activities.
The SDU campus in Odense comprises five faculties and soon also a large university hospital creating a great concentration of academics and students facilitating interdisciplinary research and rich student life. The city of Odense is culturally rich, surrounded by a vibrant and growing robotics community, and highly livable with a green banked meandering river cutting through the center and attractive residential areas.
Job Description
The position seeks an expert researcher to develop next-generation drone systems capable of infrastructure monitoring and self-recharging. Responsibilities include designing and testing control loops and AI decision-making algorithms for real-time onboard execution. The drone design must be validated across various conditions and environments. Additionally, the role involves creating a graphical user interface for the entire system.
Duties
As a post-doctoral researcher, your role will encompass research and teaching. Your teaching responsibilities will involve program coordination, course planning, and supervision of BSc and master students in related fields. Additionally, you will be expected to support the team in securing external funding.
Qualifications Required
