Vibro Acoustics and Robotics Sensing (KTP Associate)

This role is a fantastic opportunity to fast-track your career by working on the development of groundbreaking vibro-acoustic sensing technologies. You'll be at the heart of a team developing robotic solutions for detecting leaks and other defects in critical water infrastructure.

Whilst you will be employed by The University of Sheffield, you will spend a considerable period of time working with Synthotech Limited in Harrogate where you will develop a new sensor technology that can be deployed on a mobile robot and used to detect early onset of pipe wall damage that leads to leaks and busts. The main focus areas of the role are on computer simulations, sensor design, installation and novel signal processing algorithms. This KTP is supporting the development of this new capability from a foundational science perspective. This role requires you to be the project lead and you will have the creative freedom to suggest changes and to create impact by implementing your own ideas.

The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.
