  • Job Summary

    In this role, you will develop AI-based anomaly detection for mobile work machines, implement models, and evaluate sensors for monitoring vibrations and sounds in real-world applications.

    Job Technologies

    Your role in the team

    • Tauchen Sie ein in den neuesten Stand der Technik bei vibrations- und akustikbasierter Zustandsüberwachung, Anomalie- und Ereigniserkennung, und identifizieren Sie vielversprechende Methoden.
    • Prototype on established open datasets, implementing and benchmarking AI-based anomaly and event detection methods (e.g., feature-based models, one-class approaches, autoencoders, lightweight CNNs) using vibration and/or machine-sound data.
    • Design a compact sensor concept for a real work machine, selecting suitable vibration and/or audio sensors and defining mounting positions on or near the critical mechanical structures.
    • Support data acquisition on a test platform or test rig, recording and labelling normal operation under different loads and operating modes, as well as selected anomaly scenarios (e.g., imbalance, loosened non-critical components, controlled impact / foreign-object events).
    • Develop end-to-end detection pipelines, from signal preprocessing (filtering, feature extraction, time-frequency representations) to model training and thresholding for online anomaly and event detection.
    • Systematically evaluate and compare your models, analysing detection rates, false alarms, and robustness to operating conditions and noise, and assessing the impact of different sensor configurations (vibration vs. audio vs. sensor fusion) and model choices.
    • Work as part of an experienced research team, receive close mentorship from scientists in robotics, machine learning and control, and learn how to plan, document and present an applied research project in a professional R&D environment – giving your scientific career a strong, application-driven kick-start.

    Our expectations of you

    Qualifications

    • Ongoing master’s studies in Robotics, Automation, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science or a related technical field.
    • Basic knowledge of signal processing and machine learning, or strong motivation to build up these skills quickly.
    • Strong interest in autonomous systems, mobile work machines, sensing, and embedded AI.
    • Hands-on mindset and willingness to work with real hardware, experimental setups and sensor data.
    • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, as well as good command of English (spoken and written).

    Experience

    • Solid programming skills in Python; experience with scientific libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) is expected, first experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) is an advantage.
