Acreo in Gothenburg is looking for

Signal processing and control algorithm expert



Background

The department Sensor System’sbusiness is to maximize a system’s potential performance by equipping it with sensors. This set harsh requirements on the sensor element design, the necessary surrounding electronics and packaging, but also the analysis and control of the sensor signals plays a central part in the system design. Most systems have to give reliable output in a real-time environment and in some cases these systems have to be self-calibrating.

The many different types of sensors in micro-format that we use pose a great variety of new challenges to a signal processing and control algorithm engineer. The methods to be considered ranges from black box system identification to Kalman filtering techniques and feed-back control loop systems. We are presently developing Inertial Navigation Systems and measurements of solids, gases and fluids aimed towards industrial applications and Life Science.

Your tasks

You will design methods, techniques and algorithms to track, control, determine and combine physical quantities from sensor outputs, while keeping track of temperature dependent biases and offsets. Applications where inertial navigation is essential will be at the centre of your work, which will include calibration measurements.

Typically you will work closely with the sensor designer to determine relevant model equations, which describes the sensor element characteristics. Together with the electronic engineer, you will decide the suitable complexity of the algorithm and subsequently implement it into a suitable platform HW.

The tools

We have a portfolio of different tools that can aid your development of effective algorithms. Mathematica, Matlab, Simulink are some examples of tools that we presently use.

Your qualifications

You have proven mathematical skills in numerical methods. You have a PhD, and/or some years of work experience with real-time signal processing or control algorithms and adaptation into firmware or equivalent. Experience with inertial navigation systems is an advantage as well as experience with measurements.

You are not afraid to take initiatives and appreciate personal responsibilities with the social competence. You like to work in small teams, where the members are multidisciplinary, and can divide your time between short-term and long-term projects. You are not surprised if your work render into a paper or patent applications.

Working at Acreo

The position is located at Sensor System, Acreo Swedish ICT AB in Gothenburg an area prominent for academic and industrial research. Acreo has employees with high academic competence and our daily work is performed in an open and collaborative format. To enjoy and succeed in our company, you need to think innovatively and have a drive, be a team player, have focus on customer needs and results, and like to work in an international environment.
