Recently the i2CAT Foundation has won the 6GCAMLab project from the call for the UNICO R&D program, specifically from the experimental infrastructures and scientific-technical equipment sub-programme, funded by the "Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital".
i2CAT is looking for a Junior Systems Engineer to join the Research Infrastructures team within the Operations & Digital Transformation area at i2CAT, working in close cooperation with the following research areas:
* Mobile Wireless Internet (Vehicular Communications research line)
* Internet of Things
The successful candidate will participate in the design and implementation of the 6GCAMLab facilities of i2CAT. 6GCAMLab is a key experimental infrastructure for research and development in enabling technologies for future Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM), including: vehicular communications (V2X), smart sensors, accurate positioning, mobility and V2X simulators, and Cybersecurity.
In particular, the main tasks and responsibilities of the candidate will be:
* Deployment, commissioning, and testing of sensors and network infrastructure elements for V2X communications.
* Implementation and testing of connected autonomous vehicles prototypes based on ROS and open-source frameworks for autonomous driving.
* Deployment, demonstration, and performance evaluation of advanced CAM use cases on real mobility scenarios.
* Participate in the dissemination activities of 6GCAMLab, contributing to the elaboration of technical papers to be submitted to conferences and journals.
Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in communications, computer science, or electrical engineering with at least 1 year of experience.
* Hands-on experience on hardware/software development of embedded systems.
* Proven expertise programming with at least C, C++, and Python languages.
* Hands-on experience with the setting up of test equipment, carrying out experiments and measurements, etc.
* Hands-on experience with Linux and networking troubleshooting.
* Excellent written and spoken English.
* Knowledge and understanding of networking technologies (i.e., TCP/IP, switching, routing, etc.), Cloud Computing, and edge computing.
Nice to have:
* Experience in Robotics Operating System (ROS).
* Knowledge of research trends in vehicular communications.
* Knowledge in protocol stacks for V2X communications: ETSI G5 stacks, IEEE 802.11p, C-V2X and 5G.
* Knowledge in simulation tools for vehicular communications, e.g., Omnet++, SUMO, ns-3, and CARLA.
