AI Network Specialist (KTP Associate)

You will be part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project which aims to enable investment in sustainable lifesaving wireless sensor network systems under extreme environments to meet the demands of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 9 (Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure).

As a KTP Associate you will translate and apply state-of-the-art research on advanced data analysis, network topology discovery, device health monitoring, communication link performance analysis, and extreme environments modelling into design of an automated testing platform for wireless sensor networks.

Based at Draeger you will be supported by an interdisciplinary team from Newcastle University, led by Dr Jichun Li and Prof Boguslaw Obara with expertise in Robotics, Lab Automation and Image Informatics. You will be also supported by a senior supervisor from Draeger.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Researching and assessing the state of the art of the proposed project
• Concept development through prototype realization including hardware design, and software design including user interface
• Mathematical modelling, simulation and system optimization
• Working closely with Draeger Safety UK team including senior management, suppliers, and company clients, as well as NU academics to ensure the successful development and deployment of the testing system
• Design and facilitate workshops to share and transfer knowledge
• Publications in conferences or journals

Drager and Newcastle University are offering an exciting opportunity to accelerate product innovation and increase business productivity with an automated, scalable platform for the development of wireless sensor network products (firmware) using mathematical modelling and advanced data analysis techniques
