Tampereen yliopisto ja Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu muodostavat yhdessä Suomen toiseksi suurimman monitieteisen, innostavan ja vaikuttavan tutkimus- ja oppimisyhteisön. Korkeakouluyhteisömme osaamiskärjet ovat tekniikka, terveys ja yhteiskunta. Lue lisää: www.tuni.fi

Sähköhydrauliikan -tutkimusryhmä hakee kahta osa-aikaista tutkimusapulaista.

Innovatiivisen hydrauliikan ja automatiikan tutkimusryhmä (https://research.tuni.fi/iha/) osana tekniikan ja luonnontieteiden tiedekunnan automaatio- ja konetekniikan yksikköä tekee poikkitieteellistä tutkimusta hydrauliikan ja automaation parissa. Visiomme on integroida uusia sähköhydraulisia järjestelmiä ja automaatioratkaisuja yhdessä yritysten kanssa todellisen elämän sovelluksiin.

Tehtävänkuvaus

Etsimme 2 tutkimusapulaista työskentelemään tutkimus- ja kehittämishankkeiden parissa IHA Zonal Hydraulics -tutkimusryhmään (https://research.tuni.fi/iha/research/zonal-hydraulics/). Aiheet sisältävät tiedonhankintajärjestelmien suunnittelua (NI-pohjainen), avustamista kokeellisessa työssä sekä sähköisten ja hydraulisten järjestelmien mallintamista. Työ muodostuu pääasiassa kehitystoiminnasta, algoritmien ja ohjelmistojen kehityksestä (Labview), tieteellisten artikkelien yleiskatsauksesta, kokeellisten järjestelmien muodostamisesta ja kokeiden suorittamisesta, tiedonkeruusta, mallinnuksesta ja simuloinnista (Matlab, Simulink, Amesin) ja avustamisesta demoissa ja muissa tapahtumissa liittyen tutkimushankkeisiin.  

Etsimme motivoituneita henkilöitä tutkimusryhmäämme!

Edellytykset

Arvostamme seuraavia asioita:

• Taustaa joltakin seuraavista aloista: Hydrautekniikka, Sähkötekniikka, Signaalinkäsittely
• Ohjelmointikokemusta yhdestä tai useammasta ohjelmointikielestä ja -ympäristöstä: C, C++, Matlab, Python 
• Tiedonhankintajärjestelmät ovat entuudestaan tuttuja (Labview)
