Zürich, Schweiz Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich Vollzeit
PhD student in Embedded Systems & Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Ranging

The Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab is looking for a PhD student in embedded systems. Suitable applicants have built their own embedded systems before (custom PCB + firmware, MCU + sensor integration, ideally using nRF chips). Optional but encouraged is some experience with UWB (communication protocol, distance estimation) and basic feedback control/robotics (Kalman filters, state estimation).

Project background

The project focuses on developing cutting-edge embedded systems that integrate UWB and motion sensors for high-accuracy ranging, tracking, and communication. You will work on custom PCBs, firmware development, and the seamless connection of MCUs with various sensors. You will also develop learning-based pipelines for state, position, and motion estimation.

The project will contribute to advancements in localization and robotics applications.

  • Design, develop, and test embedded systems hardware (PCBs) and firmware.
  • Integrate MCUs with sensors, ensuring reliable communication and data handling.
  • Develop UWB-based communication and ranging algorithms.
  • Contribute to system-level performance optimization and experimental validation.
  • Implement basic feedback control for robotics tasks.
Profile

Your background should be in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Robotics.

Candidates should also have:

  • Proven experience designing custom PCBs and developing firmware.
  • Familiarity with MCUs (e.g., nRF chips) and sensor integration.
  • Ideally: hands-on experience with UWB technology (platforms, protocols, signals).
  • Strong problem-solving and technical debugging skills.
  • Optional: experience in state estimation and filters.
Application documents to be submitted
  • A PDF showing your projects that are most relevant to this position
  • Your CV
  • University score records (for undergrad and master's)
  • Contact details of at least two academic referees
