Unlock the Future of Space Robotics
The Space Robotics research group is looking for a talented Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to their team. The group focuses on space robotics research and applied research to develop innovative paradigms.
* Investigate verification and validation techniques for space systems, software, and algorithms with an emphasis on challenges in space-borne perception and proximity operations with uncooperative spacecraft.
* Develop novel methods for characterizing and quantifying input-output bounds in AI-augmented perception systems: Create methodologies and tools for characterizing and/or quantifying the performance envelope, robustness, and safety properties of perception systems that incorporate learning-based models.
* Develop automated generation of operational conditions using novel methods and tools.
* Inform and educate certification processes for such systems: Explore approaches to generate safety cases and evidence suitable for contributing to potential certification according to relevant space standards.
* Lead simulations and test campaigns using synthetic and potentially real datasets/simulators relevant to space environments.
Key Responsibilities:
* Investigate existing verification and validation techniques for space systems, software, and algorithms.
* Develop novel methods and tools for characterization and quantification of input-output bounds in AI-augmented perception systems.
* Develop automated generation of operational conditions.
* Inform and educate certification processes for such systems.
* Lead simulations and test campaigns.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
* Strong background in robotics, computer vision, machine learning, or related fields.
* Experience with space robotics and perception systems.
* Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C++, or MATLAB.
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
* Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic environment.
