PhD Researcher Position in Real-Time Operating Systems- PhD - Brussel | Just now- ContextAs a vital member of the team, you will contribute to SAFEBOT, our cutting-edge intelligent control system that enhances safety and efficiency in human-robot interactions.

This exceptional opportunity allows you to be part of a dynamic, innovative team where your research efforts directly address and aim to resolve the safety-productivity dilemma currently faced by the robotics industry.

This role is ideal for an aspirational individual looking to make significant contributions within an encouraging and collaborative research environment.

Research is at the heart of this position.

Together with the university advisor, you will have the opportunity to define your own research trajectory in the field of Real-Time Operating Systems to contribute to the academic discourse in this field.

This position will require you to publish findings in proceedings and/or peer-reviewed journals and to showcase research outputs at conferences and workshops, leading eventually to the defense of a PhD dissertation.

What you will do

As a PhD researcher, you will:

Develop a bespoke, lightweight, and reliable RTOS, tailored for the unique hardware and software demands of the SAFEBOT system. The operating system will be based on an ARM-based Real-Time Linux distribution, using technologies like Yocto, Buildroot, or Petalinux.
Engage in the integration of Board Support Package (BSP) and toolchains. Your work will ensure customizability and scalability, facilitating interfaces with various embedded systems, especially FPGAs.
Design and implement highperformance Realtime APIs and processing chains for proximity and data interpretation using languages such as C/C++ or Rust.
Participate in the integration of GPUaccelerated algorithms for parallel processing and performance optimization, contributing to advancements in realtime digital signal processing and filtering techniques.
Support the design and implementation of objecttracking systems and 3D geometrical reconstructions software into the Real-Time Linux framework.
Implement kernellevel modifications and optimizations for improved realtime performance and hardware compatibility while ensuring the project adheres to design requirements, testing, verification, and validation standards.
Play an active role in knowledge dissemination within the robotics and computer science ecosystem.

What we do for you

Duration of the project: the initial duration of the PhD position is for 2 years. Upon successful completion of the first phase, funding for an additional 2 years is secured.
Start date: October 2023
Location: the PhD researcher will be hosted by a Belgian university. The project is affiliated with imec, Europe's largest independent research center in nanoelectronics and digital technologies. The SAFEBOT team operates from the imec facilities in Brussels (Bd de la Plaine 9).
