Senior researcher

Project
PREP0004009

The work will entail:

  • Basic research leading to the development of novel indoor localization and tracking methods,
    algorithms, and systems
  • Evaluating the performance of such methods, algorithms, and systems via modeling and
    simulation
  • Performance evaluation via the development of system prototypes, when warranted
  • Test and evaluation of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) indoor localization solutions
  • Literature survey of pedestrian navigation techniques in indoor environments
  • Assessment of the efficacy of 5G wireless technology and indoor localization techniques,
    particularly in the context of public safety scenarios

Indoor Localization, Tracking, and Navigation

Qualifications
  • A doctoral degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or other related fields is preferred but
    not required.
  • The prospective applicant does not have to be an expert in localization. However, good knowledge
    of wireless communications, digital signal processing, and computer algorithms is required. If
    necessary, the applicant selected for the position will be trained in indoor localization.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, and MATLAB is required, along with
    good computing skills.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • The ability to develop prototypes of indoor localization systems is a plus.
Research Proposal

Key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Reading scholarly papers on indoor localization and understanding their contributions and how
    the proposed systems work
  • Writing code for modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of indoor localization
    systems
  • Developing novel indoor localization systems
  • Publishing the research results and making technical presentations on the work done
  • Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise
    transmitted to the larger organization
