Researcher in Sensing and Perception (682362)

About this opportunity

As the tech firm that created the mobile world, and with more than 54,000 patents to our name, we’ve made it our business to make a mark. When joining our team at Ericsson you are empowered to learn, lead and perform at your best, shaping the future of technology. This is a place where you're welcomed as your own perfectly unique self, and celebrated for the skills, talent, and perspective you bring to the team. Are you in?

Come, and be where it begins.

The IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems Technologies team at Ericsson Research is looking for a researcher in perception for Cyber-Physical Systems.

Networked robotic systems are expected to initiate an unprecedented revolution in industrial automation while XR glasses are expected to revolutionize the way people interact with the world around them. These intelligent devices incorporating insights from rich, perceptual sensing modalities such as cameras and Lidar sensors are expected to be able to localize themselves with millimeter-level precision and build rich semantic 3D representations of the environment. This however remains a major challenge as current devices and systems lack the capabilities to share and build knowledge incrementally and efficiently based on the rich sensor information collected. This is primarily due to the lack of suitable algorithms but also because these systems are not tightly integrated with the 5G network platform and the device hardware and software. The combination of our team’s experience and the experience Ericsson has dealing with sophisticated industry infrastructure for mobile networks put us in a unique position to contribute in this emerging field.

What you will do

• Have the opportunity to impact the development of perception technologies
• Develop new solutions to relevant problems in the above-mentioned areas, involving theoretical contributions as well as coding
• Evaluate and demonstrate the proposed systems using real sensor data and run them on real CPS devices such as robots and XR glasses
• Become part of a highly motivated, multi-disciplinary team of researchers working in a fully collaborative manner
• Have the opportunity to publish results in patent applications and leading technical journals and conferences
• Be working in a dynamic department with opportunities for learning, taking on new responsibilities, impacting ways of working, and much more

You will bring

• MSc. or PhD in a relevant technical area, including robotics, electrical engineering and computer science
• Experience and/or demonstrated interest in sensor fusion, computer vision, scene understanding, modelling and optimization
• Demonstrated experience and interest in implementation of solutions in software and hardware
• Strong mathematical background
• Strong programming skills, including C++ and Python
• Demonstrated experience and interest in publishing results in form of papers at high-quality conferences/journals and publishing code
• Demonstrated experience and interest in supervising students (e.g. thesis projects and internships)
• Strong communication skills in written and spoken English and good presentation skills

We are looking forward to your application where you indicate the value of your experience and skills to the above technical area.
