Job Title: Research Scientist in Machine Learning for Autonomous Alignment
Join us in our pursuit of innovation and excellence as a Research Scientist in Machine Learning for Autonomous Alignment
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Research Scientist to join our team in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences. As a Research Scientist, you will play a key role in investigating the automation of processes used to optimise Complex Optical Systems using Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligent technologies.
About the Project:
This project is part of a major initiative focused on automating alignment processes with systems that exploit state-of-the-art robotics (i.e. mechatronic) that combine sensing and machine intelligence to create a step change in the speed and accuracy of the process.
Your Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct scientific research and analysis in the field of Machine Learning and Autonomous Systems.
- Develop and implement advanced optimisation and AI/ML approaches using techniques such as transfer and reinforcement learning, supervised and unsupervised methods, and classical and multi-objective optimisation.
- Design and develop adaptive, possibly human-inspired, strategies for learning complex multi-step alignment processes.
- Collaborate with engineers from Leonardo and the National Robotarium to execute project tasks.
- Participate in Knowledge Transfer Meetings and Workshops with a broad range of Leonardo personnel.
Requirements:
- Masters or PhD level degree in a relevant area such as Theoretical Physics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or closely related subject.
- Significant experience of programming (e.g. Python, Matlab etc.) is essential.
- Ability to articulate research work via written technical reports, academic publishing and by oral presentation.
- Ability and willingness to learn new digital skills and capabilities appropriate to your role and how it evolves.
- Ability to formulate and progress work on your own initiative with evidence of research ability: problem solving, flexibility.
About Our Team:
Heriot-Watt University is leading the development of high-power lasers, with potential applications in industrial material processing and defence. Our team is passionate about innovation and excellence, and we are looking for like-minded individuals to join us on this exciting journey
