Project Employee / Research Assistant for a Circuit design and fabrication of smart gas sensor

Apply locations: Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland

Job requisition id: R41975

Aalto University is where science and art meet technology and business. We shape a sustainable future by making research breakthroughs in and across our disciplines, sparking the game changers of tomorrow and creating novel solutions to major global challenges.

Our community is made up of 13,000 students, 400 professors, and close to 4,500 other faculty and staff working on our dynamic campus in Espoo, Greater Helsinki, Finland.

Diversity is part of who we are, and we actively work to ensure our community's diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community.

The Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering conducts research and arranges related courses in the fields of electromagnetics, micro and nanotechnology, radio engineering, and space technology. The department research groups have active national and international collaboration with several institutes and companies.

The Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering is looking for either a Project Employee (M.Sc.) or a Research Assistant (Bachelor or Master level student) to work on circuit design and fabrication of a smart gas sensor.

The work is in the context of a Business Finland-supported Research-to-business program and will be performed in close collaboration with industrial partners.

The final goal of the full R2B project is to demonstrate a biodegradable smart gas sensor, capable of detecting various analytes at low concentrations. The project consists of three major parts: sensor printing, circuit design and integration, and developing an AI algorithm.

In this role, you will design and fabricate the peripheral circuit for data acquisition and transmission, and finally test the circuit and calibrate the sensor. The role requires close collaboration with our team's materials scientist for sensing measurement and AI training. You will design and fabricate the circuit board, integrating the printed sensor, to read and transmit the sensing data to a laptop or a cell phone. You will also collaborate on the sensor design, fabrication, and sensing measurement with team members and our partners to build the database for AI training and provide feedback to the material design group for sensor optimization.

Your experience and ambitions

Required qualifications:

  1. Analog Circuit Design, OP-Amps, and ADC
  2. Peripheral Interfacing (SPI, I2C, UART)
  3. Microcontroller Programming
  4. Embedded System Design and C Programming
  5. Sensor Interface and Signal Acquisition
  6. Hands-on experience with embedded boards (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
  7. Problem Solving and Analytical Skills
  8. Ability in Team collaboration and technical presentation
  9. Good written and oral communication skills in English. Finnish language is not required.

What we offer

Your tasks belong to a fixed work package under the Research-to-Business project. The contract is for a fixed term, equivalent to a 6-month full-time workload. The planned start date is the 1st of March 2025. Depending on your degree qualifications, we offer either a Project Employee contract or a Research Assistant contract. The tasks can be adapted to the employee's background and knowledge. Working alongside studies is also possible, in which case the work is done part-time during the academic term.

The workplace is at the premises of the Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering, and in part at the premises of the Applied Physics department, both in Otaniemi.

Join us

Please share the following application materials with us through our recruitment site:

  1. Brief cover letter (max one page).
  2. CV (max two pages) with a list of publications and reference contacts, if any.
  3. Academic transcripts of your B.Sc. and M.Sc. studies.

The deadline for applications is February 14th, 2025. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible since we aim to fill this position as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
