Optical Communications Research Scientist

Universidade de Vigo; España; Presencial; EUR 23.000 - 28.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Universidade de Vigo in Spain seeks a research engineer to develop an optical propagation simulator for atmospheric turbulence and practical effects. You will explore ML-based digital wavefront correction and assess feasibility on FPGA/SoC hardware.

The role includes developing orbital propagation tools using ERA5 data, building an optical link budget engine, and contributing to commissioning of a portable optical ground station in the lab, coordinating with external groups.

Formación

• Academic Training in Telecommunication Engineering.
• Proven professional experience.
• Knowledge of languages (Spanish, English, Galician) with practical professional application.

Responsabilidades

• Developing an optical propagation simulator for atmospheric turbulence and related effects.
• Assessing machine learning techniques for digital wavefront correction on on-board hardware.
• Developing orbital propagation and ERA5 meteorological analysis tools.
• Implementing an optical link budget engine to analyse ground station diversity.
• Comissioning a portable optical ground station in the lab (tracking, alignment, pointing).
• Liaising with external groups and disseminating results.
