Postdoc Position 3D Representation of Dynamic Scenes

3D Representation of Dynamic Scenes

We are looking for a passionate Postdoctoral researcher to join our team and contribute to a cutting-edge project at the intersection of 3D Computer Vision, Composite Fabrication and Aerospace Structures.

Project Overview: The project is dedicated to the monitoring and management of composite fabrication process, ensuring the production of high-performance and highly reliable composite parts. These components play a crucial role in various high-stakes applications including aviation, aerospace, and super-cars. You will focus on creating a detailed volumetric representation of small pieces of composite tapes arranged in a mold before they are fused into a single, solid piece. Such a model facilitates real-time adaptation and precise control of the fabrication process, ensuring that composite tape pieces are distributed evenly, enhancing the structural integrity and reliability of the final product.

Your Role:

• Use cutting-edge 3D computer vision methods.
• Design and set up experiments.
• Deploy your algorithms on machines.
• Write well-documented code.
• Prepare demonstrators.
• Write scientific papers.
• Guide Master's and/or PhD students.
• Limited participation in educational activities.
• Support in writing grant proposals.
• Support in organizing workshops and scientific events.
• Connect with academic and industry partners and promote your work.

• PhD in Computer Vision, Robotics, Aerospace/Mechanical/Electrical/Computer Eng., Applied Math or related disciplines.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++, along with knowledge in software integration methods.
• Knowledge in machine learning and deep learning methods.
• Knowledge in OpenCV, ROS, and Gazebo.
• Well organized and excellent time management skills.
• Excellent command of English and communication skills.
• Knowledge in composite materials is a plus.
