Research Assistant in Digitisation of Manufacturing Processes

We are pleased to announce an exciting new opportunity for a Research Assistant in the Digitisation of Manufacturing Processes. This position is focused on supporting research in manufacturing, inspection and machine learning for high-value manufacturing processes. The position is associated with funding from the EPSRC Future Electrical Machines Manufacturing Hub (FEMM Hub). The FEMM Hub is a UK-based manufacturing research programme, established with the aim of putting UK Manufacturing at the forefront of the electrification revolution. You will join a world-class team of digital manufacturing researchers, with frequent opportunities to engage in networking and development activities with other team members across the consortium and progress your career.

As part of the project, you will utilise in-process monitoring techniques employing a variety of sensing technologies to generate data that will be used to measure and monitor the process parameters. You will utilise sensor data capture and analytics to identify links between process data and the production outcomes and utilise control methods that can make use of the identified links to ensure successful production outcomes.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
