The selected candidate will join the MWI group to work on the design, implementation and development of IoT solutions and their evaluation in real environments. The contracted person is expected to have a resolute attitude and ability to make decisions at the development and research level.
The selected candidate will work on projects of the IoT group both at European and national level focused on improving mobile element positioning solutions. In this sense, the work carried out will be applied to the following areas:
· Location and positioning solutions in interiors based on IoT technologies. Evaluation and implementation of systems based on the use of one or more technologies, such as UWB, inercial sensors or BLE, that allow to improve indoor accuracy and that can be used as assistance/support for the guidance of autonomous vehicles (AGVs) and the traceability of objects or people. We will work on improving and providing new features to solutions that i2CAT is already developing.
· Optimization of wireless sensor devices. We will work on two lines. On the one hand, we will investigate the improvement of battery-powered IoT devices from the energy point of view to increase their autonomy, with special focus on the optimization of hardware and communication technologies. On the other hand, it will investigate in the application of algorithms and mechanisms at the local level that exploit the capacity of devices with limited performance to improve decision rush and obtaining advanced information through the sensorization of physical parameters.
· Implementation (software and hardware) of prototypes and demonstrators. These demonstrators will be developed and validated under realistic conditions applied to cases of location use.
· Implementation (software and hardware) of prototypes and demonstrators. These demonstrators will be developed and validated under realistic conditions applied to cases of location use.
· Preparation of documentation and deliverables of the project. As a result of the work carried out, the project documentation will be written.
The role requires proven mastery and experience in the design and development of firmware and software for IoT devices. The contracted person is expected to be able to work autonomously on advanced efficient and optimized IoT solutions.
Who we are:
The i2CAT Foundation is a CERCA centre with the vision of leading the challenge of designing and building the digital society of the future based on research and innovation in advanced digital technologies. Highlighting the generation of talent and in order to generate economic and social impact, i2CAT wants to turn Catalonia into a creative, empowered and innovative society, where knowledge and digital technology are at the service of people, promoting:
- The generation of excellence knowledge aimed at solving the challenges of companies, citizens and public administration (mission-driven research).
- The collaboration and establishment of synergies with other agents of the local ecosystem of research and digital innovation to co-develop solutions and products that generate a transformative impact.
- The digital empowerment of citizens through digital, open, participatory social innovation with territorial capillarity.
- The leadership of pioneering initiatives and tractors that increase the international projection and visibility of Catalonia as a digital and innovative country.
i2CAT is a constantly growing organization that has extensive experience in the leadership and development of research and innovation projects at national and international level in the technological fields of 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), virtual and immersive technologies, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Space Communications and digital society technologies.

What do we offer?
Where will you do it?
At i2CAT we already have an established telework policy for some time. You can work from home or from the office, whichever suits you best. We ask that you attend the office two days per week, one to stay connected with the team and the other one to establish relations.
If you decide to come to the office, we are located in Zona Universitària, next to the Campus Nord of the UPC, within a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. It is a very well connected area (metro, tram, bus) with bars and restaurants around.
Our offices are designed with an open-office concept where everything is light and transparency (we do not have opaque rooms). We have a variety of workspaces so that you don't have to be at the same table all day.
i2CAT is an organization committed to equal opportunities. That is why we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourage the female collective to apply.
i2CAT is an organization committed to diversity and we seek to increase the number of people with disabilities in our team.
