Signal processing and control algorithm engineer

Imego's business is to maximize a system’s potential performance by equipping it with sensors. This set harsh requirements on the sensor element design, the necessary surrounding electronics and packaging, but also the analysis and control of the sensor signals plays a central role in the system design. Most systems have to give reliable output in a real-time environment and in some cases these systems have to be self-calibrating.

The many different types of sensors in micro-format used by Imego pose a great variety of new challenges to a signal processing and control algorithm engineer. The methods to be considered ranges from black box system identification to Kalman filtering techniques and feed-back control loop systems. We are presently developing Inertial Navigation Systems and identification of gases and fluids. Hence we have to measure accelerations, rotation rates, concentration, flow, viscosity etc.

Your qualifications

You have proven mathematical skills in numerical methods. You have a master degree or higher, and some years of work experience with real-time signal processing or control algorithms and adaptation into firmware or equivalent. Experience with inertial navigation systems is an advantage as well as experience with measurements.

You are not afraid to take initiatives and appreciate personal responsibilities. You like to work in small teams, where the members are multidisciplinary, and can divide your time between short-term and long-term projects. You are not surprised if your work render into a paper or patent applications.

Your tasks

You will design methods, techniques and algorithms to track, control, determine and combine physical quantities from sensor outputs, while keeping track of temperature dependent biases and offsets. Applications where inertial navigation is essential will be at the centre of your work, which will include calibration measurements.

Typically you will work closely with the sensor designer to determine relevant model equations, which describes the sensor element characteristics. Together with the electronic engineer, you will decide the suitable complexity of the algorithm and subsequently implement it into a suitable platform HW.

The tools

Imego has a portfolio of different tools that can aid your development of effective algorithms. Mathematica, Matlab, Simulink, Ansys, Cadence are some examples of software and hardware tools that we presently use.

Electronic design engineer

Imego's business involves maximizing the potential performance of a system by equipping it with sensors. This sets harsh requirements on the sensor element design, the necessary surrounding electronics and packaging, but also the analysis of the sensor signals plays a central role in the system design. In some systems several sensors are used and controlled and often involves FPGA. Some systems have to be small, cheap and have low power consumption, which means that ASIC based solutions often are required to process the sensor signals.

The many different types of sensors in micro-format used by Imego pose a great variety of new challenges to an electronics design engineer.

Your qualifications

You have a master degree or higher in electrical engineering and have some years of work experience in development of analogue and digital systems. You have experience in PCB and FPGA design flows. Knowledge about ASIC (analogue and digital) design flow is an advantage. You are not afraid to take initiatives and you appreciate personal responsibilities. You like to work in small teams, where the members are multidisciplinary, and can divide your time between short-term and long-term projects.

Your tasks

You will take part in the whole work flow from specification up to delivery of completed prototypes. Your main tasks will be design, layout, test and verification of the sensor system electronic. This will also include micro-controller or FPGA programming.

The tools

Imego has a portfolio of different tools that can aid your development of electronic devices. PADS, Xilinx Foundation, Cadence, Matlab, Simulink, and Ansys are some examples of software tools that we presently use.

Organic chemistry/polymer chemistry
(Post doc)

At Imego we have several projects where we utilize polymers for sensing. One example is the use of molecularly imprinted polymers. These are polymers with the molecular architecture adapted for a specific sampling of certain molecules, for example narcotics. Another example is a project with the objective to construct a micro pH- meter that could be powered and read out remotely. We intend to sense pH using pH-sensitive polymer films deposited on a sensor substrate. The latter is at present an interdigitated electrode with a capacitive read-out.

Therefore we would like to strengthen Imegos’ competence by a polymer chemist/organic chemist at a post doc level. The main focus of your work will be to prepare polymers or organic molecules with tailored properties that will be used in the construction of a practical sensing system. Your input on different methods for coating surfaces with thin films will be highly appreciated.

Imego does not have a dedicated (polymer) synthesis laboratory at present. This will necessitate that (at least) the initial practical laboratory work will be performed outside Imego. You will be working in a highly interdisciplinary environment consisting of biologists/biotechnologists, physicists, electronic engineers, etc. At present the post doc position is limited to 2 years, with an extension possibility.
