Responsibilities
- Build machine-learning models to predict residual sensor errors from observable signals.
- Define validation protocols across unseen thermal profiles and physical sensor units.
- Benchmark learned models against classical thermal compensation and adaptive Kalman-filtering baselines.
- Assess observability boundaries and distinguish predictable errors from errors outside the model’s reach.
- Train and evaluate models offline using sensor characterisation data while identifying physical correlations, artefacts, and overfitting.
- Collaborate with FPGA and DSP engineers to deploy successful models as lightweight, frozen models on embedded targets.
- Communicate experimental findings and engineering recommendations clearly.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
- Strong applied machine-learning experience with time-series, regression, sensor, or instrumentation data.
- Strong Python or MATLAB skills and experience with PyTorch, scikit-learn, or equivalent modeling frameworks.
- Experience working with modest, high-value datasets where validation strategy and data quality are critical.
- Strong understanding of model validation, generalisation, overfitting, feature engineering, and experimental design.
- Sufficient physics and signal-processing knowledge to assess whether relationships are physically meaningful.
- C or C++ skills are highly desirable.
- Experience with sensor calibration, metrology, inertial sensing, or similar physical measurement systems is advantageous.
- Experience deploying machine-learning models to embedded or resource-constrained targets is a plus.
- Exposure to aerospace, defence, robotics, or other high-performance engineering environments is a plus.
Benefits
- Full-time position based in Zürich, Switzerland.
- Hybrid workplace arrangement.
