Marie Curie ESR position: Development of an integrated design environment for energy efficient drive lines in machines

Company

Flanders' MECHATRONICS Technology Centre vzw (FMTC) is a research centre with the mission to jointly develop new and improve existing generic mechatronic competences and technologies to improve the competitive edge of its member companies. It is an initiative of Agoria, the Belgian multisector federation for the technology industry, and 14 leading mechatronic companies in Flanders.

Function description

The objective of this work is to develop an approach to model, analyze and optimize the energetic behavior of drive lines of machines. As R&D effort for designing new production machines is typically limited, and much smaller than for example the development effort for a car, detailed models of a machine cannot be made during the design. As a result, it will also be unfeasible too make very detailed energetic models in an industrial setting. The challenge of this activity is therefore to come to an approach that allows retrieving energetic models with an adequate level of detail efficiently. It is expected that this modeling, analysis and optimization process will be iterative in nature, meaning that the behavior of very simple models of a drive line will be validated using a limited number of measurements and model refinements are carried out where necessary.

Profile

You have an Engineering degree, preferably in mechatronics. You have a broad technical background, including in-depth knowledge of physical modeling of mechatronic systems, and you are interested in new technologies. You are a result oriented team player with good communication skills.

We offer

We offer a challenging and varied job with a lot of industrial interactions in an informal atmosphere. The activity will be part of a European project on Energy efficiency Management for Vehicles and Machines. A contract of 3 years will be offered. The possibility is offered to pursue a PhD degree on this topic.

Eligibility criteria (in short)

We are seeking an early-stage researcher that holds an Msc degree in Engineering and has less than 4 years of experience. Moreover, candidates should not have resided or carried out her/his main activity in Belgium for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to her/his appointment.

Preferable starting date (indicative)

Before June 1, 2013
