Research Engineer in AI supported sound measurement systems - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description
We offer a time limited position as Research Engineer in applied machine learning for sound measurement and sound imaging. The position focuses on the areas of deep learning for sound analysis, sound positioning methods, signal processing for sound positioning, and implementation of machine learning for sound classification. The position is connected to collaborating research groups with activities in condition monitoring, sound analysis and image analysis as well as built-in systems. The research for the position is carried out in close collaboration with national and international partners.

The focus of the position is in the field of deep learning for the characterization, imaging and positioning of sounds. The position will also include signal processing and positioning methods for sound. The position may also include deep learning for image data. Work can be experimental and theoretical in nature and include data collection, development and verification of models and methods, and generalization of solutions.
