Data Analyst Engineer for new technology applications Job Description

You use data analytics and machine learning techniques to predict machine behaviour and derive the optimal settings for robots, autonomous vehicles and industrial machines.

Use computing power for high-tech applications
Flanders Make research engineers are experts in developing new technologies for machines and vehicles. Automotive companies and machine builders in Flanders are looking for predictive control and data analytics to be able to take the next step in their innovation process.

• What if you could predict machine failure by analysing measurements?
• Why do certain automotive parts result in better performances than others?

• Work together in a research team that combines expertise in artificial intelligence with expertise in the operation and control of machines and vehicles;
• Take the lead in developing predictive algorithms to process collected data and derive the optimal machine settings (Model-Based Data Analytics).

• Understand the goal of the measurement campaign and discuss how to gather relevant data with the team (e.g. temperature signals, accelerometer signals, energy measurements, failure signals…);
• Provide structure and insight into raw data;
• Find ways to process the flow of data;
• Use current data analytics methods as well as machine learning and deep learning techniques to search for relevant connections between input signals (e.g. which environmental factors could be influencing the energy efficiency of the machine?);
• Use and model predictive algorithms and interpret the results;
• Draw conclusions and suggest improved parameters to improve the performances or energy efficiency.
