Offer Description

The technologist will assist the PI with the activities outlined in the various work packages (WP) of the AVIX project in which he/she is involved, with particular focus on WP3 and WP6, contributing to the coordination and supervision of the relevant activities from a technical, financial and managerial perspective. In particular, the technologist will contribute to the acquisition, processing and organisation of technical and economic information about the solutions developed within the project, with reference to guidance and control systems, smart microgrids and energy harvesting technologies for powering the sensor network used for fire monitoring. The role will involve the comparative analysis of different technological solutions, including in terms of implementation and management costs, efficiency in the use of resources, economic sustainability, and the potential for the transfer and commercialisation of research results.
The technologist will also support the identification and monitoring of technical, economic and performance indicators (KPIs) useful for evaluating the solutions developed and verifying the achievement of project objectives, contributing to the analysis of deviations from planned activities, resources and timelines.
The technologist will participate in the technical committees’ activities and expert groups within the project, contributing to the preparation of the documentation required for the technical and economic monitoring of activities, the evaluation of project alternatives and the support of the PI’s decision-making processes. Attention will also be paid to the exploitation of the project’s results, through the analysis of the potential practical and industrial applications of the technologies developed, opportunities for technology transfer, and the conditions necessary for their subsequent adoption in real-world operational contexts.
Finally, the technologist will support the PI in preparing project deliverables and technical and economic documentation, in reporting and monitoring resources and deadlines, as well as in disseminating and promoting the results achieved.
