Junior Scientist

We are Austria’s largest research and technology organisation and an international player in applied research for innovative infrastructure solutions. This makes us a powerful development partner for industry and a top employer in the scientific community. Our **Center for Vision, Automation & Control** is seeking to hire new Ingenious Partners for our location in Vienna:
Junior Scientist (M/F/d) Fast Vision for Robotics
- Center for Vision, Automation & Control -- Our Competence Unit **High-Performance Vision Systems** (HVS)* has been active in research for industrial inspection and quality assurance for more than 20 years, which makes us a technology leader in this area.
- We develop 2D and 3D vision systems, that go beyond state of the art. To reach this we combine innovations in hardware, software, and algorithms.
- We transfer high-speed machine vision knowledge to the domain of robotic inspection, investigate different low-latency sensor solutions for their usability in visual servoing and robotic manipulation, and work with fast, on-chip data reduction.
- Together with the project team, you research and develop novel methods in real-time vision for robotic systems, that can be used for vision-based control in industrial processes such as manufacturing or repair.
- You develop robust robot-based inspection systems with different sensors such as event-based sensors and explore low-latency 3D vision for visual servoing towards anytime algorithms, including pose estimation and fast gripping.
- You investigate multi-modal approaches based on a combination of vision sensors, depth sensors and other modalities to enhance 3D reconstruction.
- You take up the latest research results from the field of image processing and computer vision and actively develop them further.
- You will work independently on work-packages or smaller projects and you will supervise interns.
- You disseminate your findings in scientific literature and are partnering with colleagues in science projects, to bring ideas to life.
- Realise vision solutions together with a team of specialists in 3D and 2D Vision, AI, FPGA and electronics, CUDA, high-speed computing, inspection systems, robot vision und more.
- Your fast vision solutions will enable robotic tasks with unprecedented speed, flexibility, and robustness.
- As part of an interdisciplinary team, your solutions improve the working world of the future and contribute to sustainable production processes.
Your qualifications as an I**ngenious Partner**:

- Completed technical studies in computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, physics, or other related fields
- First experience in computer vision or image processing, especially in the design of complex algorithms would be a plus
- Excellent knowledge of mathematical methods, especially numerical methods
- Knowledge of the programming languages Python, C, C++, and MATLAB.
- Knowledge of image acquisition techniques, optics, computer architectures and parallel processing is an advantage
- Ability to work in a team, flexibility, and commitment
- Very good command of English, both in spoken and written, German knowledge is an advantage
**What to expect**:
The minimum gross annual salary according to the collective agreement is EUR 45.836,-. The actual salary will be determined individually, based on your qualifications and experience. In addition, we offer company benefits, flexible working conditions, individual training and career opportunities.
