We are recruiting an outstanding team of researchers from AI, Edge Computing, and Digital Design, to work with us on achieving ``Perfect Recollection for Clearer Insight” project’s ambitious objectives. You will work with Dr Jagmohan Chauhan and Dr Alex Weddell in ECS in collaboration with teams at the University of Cambridge,  University of Manchester,  Turing Institute, and HMGCC. 

You will develop new low-power systems and ML algorithms to significantly extend the capabilities of onboard AI when used in small satellites for earth observation applications. This project aims to enhance the performance of sensing systems by leveraging very large memories while extracting precise and nuanced insights from data on edge devices that are constrained by power and communication. Our objective is to develop memory-centric systems capable of extracting larger volumes of valuable information from sensor data in a timely and energy-efficient manner. The research will innovate at software-hardware level. You will be writing research papers, submitting project deliverables with project collaborators and travel to academic conferences and project meetings to present the work.   

Successful candidates must hold (or close to completing) a PhD in a relevant subject. Knowledge and experience in computer vision is required. Experience of efficient ML techniques, edge AI hardware platforms, low-power computing, earth observation is desirable.  They will have excellent programming skills (Python, C++, etc.) with track record of publications in top conferences/journals such as CVPR, ICML, MobiCom, and DAC. 

Note: Successful candidate is required to undergo security checks from NSTIx before appointment confirmation.  

Why us?
