You develop advanced sensing and (condition) monitoring strategies for diagnostics and prognostics of machines, vehicles, and production systems .
Flanders Make is working on breakthrough technologies for manufacturing companies to make their machines and vehicles more autonomous and energy efficient. Additional sensors can provide data to predict current and future needs in terms of operational optimisation and condition-based maintenance. Research topics include : virtual sensing, sensor fusion, anomaly detection, fault diagnostics, lifetime prognostics and route cause analysis .
I don’t think you can find such a varied job elsewhere”, says Rob, sensing & monitoring research engineer at Flanders Make. “The core purpose of research is to learn new things.”
Function
As a young potential or an experienced monitoring research engineer, you will :
- Work on a variety of industrial challenges (large and small industrial machines, vehicles and production systems);
- Be part of a research team with combined expertise in sensors, data acquisition & advanced signal processing, feature extraction & physical modelling, experimental testing, artificial intelligence including machine learning & deep learning algorithms, physics-informed AI or hybrid modelling, model-based data analytics; and the implementation of edge-cloud algorithms;
- Play a key role in making the newest sensing and monitoring techniques relevant for anomaly detection, fault diagnostics and lifetime prognostics in the industry, making them more robust, more adaptive and more intelligent in complex multi-sensor settings.
More concretely, you will for multiple industrial cases :
Look for solutions to improve operational monitoring or condition monitoring of machines and vehicles as well as quality monitoring of products, taking into account industrial requirements such as robustness, adaptiveness or total cost of ownership;Develop sensor models and sensor fusion algorithms or explore, test and evaluate virtual sensing methods;Enhance algorithms for intelligent anomaly detection, fault diagnostics and lifetime prognostics;Work in close collaboration with experts from our industrial partners and have regular contacts with experts from knowledge centres in Belgium and abroad;Become a sparring partner for our leading companies in their innovation processes;Trace and present industrial challenges and new research opportunities.Participate in multiple projects with various applications.
