2 Doctoral Researchers (Industrial Internet/Condition-Based Monitoring/Mechanical Engineering) at Tampere University

Tampere University is inviting applications for two Doctoral Researcher positions. The successful candidates will be working on projects as part of the Mechatronics Research Group.

One of the successful candidates will work on further development and use of condition-based monitoring techniques for superconducting magnets and its components in association with European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Through reliability based modeling and real-time data from sensors, the candidate will develop methodologies and processes for effectively monitoring cryostats and cryocoolers designed for superconducting magnets for monitoring, diagnostics, prognostics, simulation and control to greatly improve product R&D and efficiency.

The other successful candidate will work on creating new business models through the analysis of data gathered from machines. As an example, in a pay-per-use business model a machine builder company owns the machines at the customer site and the customer pays per usage hour. The requirements of these novel business models include data acquisition from machines, reliability engineering and predictive maintenance as well as performance monitoring.
