• Strong affinity with optics, mechatronics, electronics and software disciplines.
• Strong affinity with embedded systems, scripting (in Matlab, Python) in Linux to perform tests towards technical investigations, and hands on experience with hardware components.
• Hands on experience with algorithm realization in image or signal processing
• Self-starting capabilities and a pragmatic mindset, with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate complex multidisciplinary technical issues.
