About this position

ESI is an open and diverse innovation research centre hosted by TNO with strong partnerships with industry-leading high-tech companies. ESI addresses the ever-increasing complexity the high-tech industry is facing in the systems they create through the development of new methods and techniques for system design and engineering. Its extensive research programme aims to advance high-tech industry in improving lead-time and effectiveness of their product innovation process, as well as the functionality, quality and societal impact of their products. The ESI project teams are motivated to accomplish a difference for their eco-system within an informal working ambience. In addition, ESI provides specific programmes for innovation support and competence development of system architects and senior engineers.

What will be your role?

You will have the unique opportunity of raising the systems engineering competencies in the high tech industry to higher levels, building on the knowledge and insights generated by the research projects performed by your colleagues at our industry partners (ASML, Canon, ITEC, Philips, Thales, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Vanderlande).

You will participate in a strategic research team, working in one of the TNO-ESI research projects, where you explore new capabilities for software-intensive high-tech systems and applications. These research teams spend most of their time working on the customer premises. Your work will be in the research cluster Embedded Systems Innovation on the topic of system engineering dealing with system performance, system evolution in complex high tech systems and systems architecting for AI enabled systems. One of the objectives of TNO- ESI is to embed cutting edge methodologies to resolve industry needs in the High Tech Industry.

At this moment there are several projects in TNO-ESI on aspects of system and performance engineering together with industry partners. As example one of our projects researches how model based engineering can be used to abstract from technological solutions by developing domain specific languages for modeling the system and its performance aspects. These models are further used for the generation of system artifacts, deployment strategies, but also for predicting and assessing the performance of the system prior to its implementation. The performance predication is a very important, but at the same time very challenging topic on the Cyber Physical Systems, requiring the research, development and application of state-of-the-art performance analysis techniques.

Your work consists of researching the problem, developing proof of concepts to demonstrate the problem, develop different scenarios for solutions; demonstrate the business value, constraints and benefits of these solutions and help bring them into industrial use.
