This EPSRC-NSF funded project is a collaboration between the Universities of Bristol, Notre Dame and Sheffield. It aims to investigate proof-of-concept techniques for the design of contiguous mode power amplifiers with high linearity and efficiency suitable at up to 40 GHz and above. The work at Sheffield is to focus on extraction of large signal models at up to second harmonic frequency and design harmonic terminations for broadband amplifiers.

This role requires expertise in RF Power Amplifier/MMIC design, modelling using ADS/EM simulations, large signal modelling, high frequency characterisation and parasitic network extraction, prototyping including layout and testing, including the reliability at the amplifier level. The Research Associate will be expected to travel to partner organisations as necessary. They will be required to be involved in other projects involving design/ communications in the team and publish in top quality journals, consistent with the quality and ambition of the department.

This project is located in the Departments of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. The Department is organised into three research areas: Semiconductor Materials and Devices, Communications, and Electrical Machines and Drives. The Communications activities have highly specialist strengths in cellular mobile wireless technologies and systems, antennas, RF Power amplifiers, FSS, smart/reconfigurable electromagnetic materials, physical layer design, RF circuit and system design, radio resource management, wireless network planning and the development of innovative RF measurement and diagnostic techniques. The facilities include two anechoic chambers and a newly established mm-wave test facility that contains a Keysight 4 port VNA (N5245B – 10MHz to 50GHz, NSI-MI Antenna Measurement System (700S-360) and an MPI TS150-THz wafer probe station and thermal chuck.

We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate to develop cutting-edge sensor systems by working closely with Airbus UK to support their vision for Landing Gear of Tomorrow. This is a computer vision systems research role in our aerospace control and monitoring research centre, where you will develop algorithms that deliver novel functionality into Industry and new methods to academia.

During the 18-month post in The University of Sheffield, you will be responsible for the development of machine vision algorithms for challenging environments (vibration, fog, icing, etc.). The system will extract disturbance invariant (intrinsic) properties from landing gear test facilities housed at Sheffield and Airbus. The properties are extracted from the camera's data stream to determine the landing gear operating and health state.
You will develop novel algorithms that can work despite the arduous operating conditions and prove their effectiveness by augmenting an existing test dataset with an appropriate mix of physical experiments and synthetic image generative modelling. The planned outcomes are the deployment of the solution of full-scale industrial rigs, leading to future flight trials, and publication to leading sensor and computer vision conferences and journals.
A successful candidate will be able to take a systems approach to solve the technical challenges of working with sensor systems in extreme aerospace environments. You will make quantitative trade-offs between complexity, performance and risk in order to inform and convince industrial stakeholders of the merits of your solution. Your solution will require knowledge of fundamental methodologies for advanced vision processing, including but not limited to diffusion models and deep neural networks, along with experience of implementing machine learning and signal processing for embedded vision systems. We anticipate that this novel problem setting and broad approach will provide the foundation for you to deliver novel research into world class journals and conferences.
