Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The successful candidate will be working on the development of soft, large-area robotic skin, with a focus on mechanical contact information processing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and conduct experiments to develop a mechanical contact processing model that can estimate contact information from sensors embedded in soft elastomer.
  • Contribute to the development of numerical models to simulate soft, large-area robotic skin with embedded tactile sensors.
  • Conduct research on mechanical contact processing models, integrating both physics-based numerical models and data-driven approaches to estimate contact information.
  • Evaluate and validate the accuracy of contact information estimation.
Requirements
  • A master's degree in a field relevant to signal processing, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Background knowledge in numerical methods, with a preference for experience in contact and solid mechanics.
  • Demonstrated high and low-level programming experience (C/C++ and MATLAB/Python) and machine learning.
  • Interest in mechatronics and robotics is desirable but not mandatory.
  • A research-oriented mindset, eager to take on exciting challenges.
  • Willingness or demonstrated ability to work on multidisciplinary and collaborative projects.
  • Motivation to develop teaching skills and mentor junior students (Bachelor's and Master's levels).
  • Proficiency in spoken and written English (C1 level or higher).
What We Offer
  • A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network.
  • Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
  • Salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
  • A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
  • High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher.
  • An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
  • An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
  • A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.
