Offer Description
Funding project: SMART-INFRA, PID***OB-C21 Activities related to M1A3 (development of modular sensors), M2A3 (validation of MUM) and M5A3 (validation in real structures). Experimental work with the new version LARA V3.0, redesigned to replace components of the previous version that are no longer available.
Mission:
Collaborate in the commissioning, experimental characterization and validation of LARA V3.0 prototypes (low-cost accelerometer and inclinometer), to guarantee their suitability for monitoring structures.
Functions to be developed:
Put the LARA V3.0 prototypes into operation; check their data acquisition, communications and basic hardware and software operation.
Prepare and execute laboratory test and calibration protocols to measure accelerations and inclinations under controlled conditions.
Evaluate precision, repeatability, noise, drift and variability between units; compare results with reference instruments and with the previous generation of LARA.
Process and analyze experimental data, document the results and identify limitations and possible improvements to the system.
Provide support for preliminary tests on real structures and develop usage protocols, validation reports and recommendations for the deployment of sensors in the project.
Reproducible experimental trials (planning, execution and recording).
Configuration of measurement equipment, data verification and resolution of basic incidents.
Signal processing and experimental data analysis (e.g., Python or MATLAB).
Specific Requirements
Knowledge:
Structural instrumentation and monitoring.
Fundamentals of MEMS sensors, accelerometers and inclinometers.
Acquisition and recording of sensor data; sampling and temporal synchronization.
Principles of measurement, calibration, uncertainty and comparison with reference instruments.
Characterization of vibrations and inclinations in structural elements.
Basic concepts of embedded systems, IoT communications and technical documentation.
It will be assessed:
Have or be pursuing a doctorate.
Professional Experience:
In laboratory testing, instrumentation or sensor data acquisition.
In characterization, calibration or validation of motion sensors.
In programming and experimental data processing.
In structural monitoring, electronic prototyping or field trials.
In the quantitative analysis of results and comparison of sensor performance.
In writing technical reports and validation protocols in a collaborative research environment.
Experience in functions similar to those described will be valued, specifically in the development of research activities, both in the university and industrial environment.
