Virtual Engineering & Simulation
21.11.2019
Selected candidates will join mixed team of researchers (currently about 8
persons plus students, and growing), focused on applied research oriented to
bring innovative technologies from Virtual Engineering and Simulation to
companies of the Industry & Advanced Manufacturing sectors, especially
following the international trends of Industry 4.0 and Digital Smart
Manufacturing. This is one of the three main lines of the Industry &
Advanced Manufacturing area at Vicomtech.
Selected candidates will have a very relevant role in developing and
implementing the strategy of the Virtual Engineering & Simulation activities
at Vicomtech. The main technologies of specialization of this line include
Interactive 3D Simulations, Human Computer Interaction, Virtual & Augmented
Reality, Computer Graphics, Computational Geometry and Advanced
Visualization. Application scenarios include industrial Digital Twins,
Augmented Reality systems, interactive 3D simulations of complex
manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing digital solutions, virtual
environments for engineering, cloud-based engineering simulations, etc.
The selected candidate's activities will include:
* Active participation in the definition of the Virtual Engineering &
Simulation roadmap in Vicomtech
* Management activities such as team activity planning, identification
of sectors and potential clients, project execution monitoring, financial
definition of projects, external representation of Vicomtech interest
groups, presentations for different audiences, etc.
* Frequent contact with existing or potential external partners and
industrial clients, with a proactive attitude of identifying real needs and
proposing potential solutions that can be developed in applied research
projects. For ongoing projects, special care on client relationships and
excellent execution.
* Direct involvement in identifying opportunities and writing relevant
proposals for key customers and administrations, -including large industrial
groups, strategic industrial customers, European projects H2020 and Horizon
Europe-. Support other members of the team in the definition of research
proposals and their acquisition.
* Leading role as Coordinator (or Supervisor) of relevant national and
international applied R&D projects.
* Coordination of highly qualified research teams working in the
applied research projects, and close cooperation with researchers from other
lines and other areas at Vicomtech.
* Active participation in scientific activity of the line, including
publications, research orientation and PhD processes.
