 Research Engineer/PostDoc in geomatics and software engineering
33 months position in Nantes, France

Nature of recruitment
Education: engineering or MSc. or PhD degree
Salary: 2463€ gross salary/month
Expected starting date: Oct. 2017

Context
The GEOLOC laboratory conducts research toward improving the “mobility of people and goods, their usages" and
more precisely on IFSTTAR's main topic titled "Analysis and innovation for sustainable and responsible mobility".
GEOLOC has a recognized expertise in the development of geopositioning and navigation methods and systems to
address the challenges of intelligent mobility. One objective is to invent novel navigation tools for pedestrians for
monitoring and analyzing their mobility following a self-contained and ethical strategy. The collaborative project
CyborgLOC has been selected by the ANR and the DGA to address the challenge MALIN (MAîtrise de la Localisation
INdoor). The project aims at developing a real-time system for accurate positioning solution of operating agents (soldier
or fireman) in closed, unknown and non-collaborative environments. 3 competition phases with 4 other consortia will
be organized during the project.

Mission
The research engineer will contribute to the development of CyborgLOC geopositioning system. He/she will be
incharge of transcoding GEOLOC's accurate navigation algorithms (StrapDown INS / Pedestrian Dead Reckoning) in
real time to an embedded platform. Existing codes are already running in post-processing mode and the transcoding
strategy has already defined withing other projects. The research engineer will also enrich GEOLOC algorithms novel
activity recognition strategies and work in collaboration with the other partners on deepening the software architecture
of CyborgLOC thanks to sensors data fusion (video, LiDAR, ultrasound). The work will be conducted in collaboration
with teams working on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Big Data and specialists in electronics and
defense-oriented technologies.

Main Activities
• Software development and subparties workload assessment
• Unit testing and software components integration
• Documentation writing (developer, user and operational)
• Produce dataset for testing and integration
• Work as a project team member

Desired Competences
• IT
◦ First experience in embedded computing development
◦ Linux environment knowledge
◦ C / C++ programmation
◦ High-level scientific language such as Matlab or Python
◦ Knowledge of code management tool like GitLab
• scientific
◦ Signal Processing/Filtering (Kalman)
◦ Hybrization/Fusion algorithms (IMU, GNSS, Magnetometer)
◦ GNSS signal processing
• human
◦ motivated, curious, team worker

Work environment
GEOLOC laboratory (www.geoloc.ifsttar.fr), department AME in IFSTTAR in Nantes, France
Flexible working hours / good working atmosphere / teamwork / sport activities available on site / workplace accessible
by public transport / restoration on site.
