This聽is聽what聽your聽working聽day聽might聽look like :
A聽typical workday聽might start with a discussion about a promising idea that has barely been developed. You ask critical questions, define the core hypothesis, and translate it into a concrete experiment. That same morning, you are in the lab building a sensor setup or configuring an embedded prototype. In the afternoon, you analyze the聽initial聽data, discover an unexpected deviation, and decide to adjust the design聽immediately. At the end of the day, you share your聽results聽with colleagues and advise whether this聽path聽should be explored further or not. Every day, you move between thinking and doing, between vision and validation.聽聽
Your main responsibilities are:聽聽
-
Designing, building, and iteratively improving prototypes, with a focus on electronics, software, and integrated systems.聽聽
-
Conducting exploratory research into technologies, sensors, hardware, and software, including physics and data analysis.聽聽
-
Performing rapid prototyping and quickly substantiating opportunities, limitations, and risks based on experiments and data.聽聽聽
-
Setting up, configuring, and validating test setups.聽聽聽
-
Actively collaborating with colleagues in the field of electronics and software, sharing knowledge, and contributing critical thinking.聽聽
-
Documenting results and providing聽informed聽counterarguments, including concrete recommendations for next steps.
