------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lero - the Irish Software Research Centre is Ireland's national software
research centre. Lero recently received significant direct grant funding
in excess of 30 Mill. EUR from Science Foundation Ireland and industry
partners. Lero is headquartered at the University of Limerick and involves
all universities in Ireland, with member institutions in Cork, Dublin,
Dundalk, Limerick, Galway, Maynooth, and Tralee.
The successful candidates will have the exciting opportunity to work in a
national research centre, in the context of national and European projects
and in direct collaboration with strategic industrial partners and
academic colleagues from a large spectrum of disciplines.
The research focuses on the model-driven engineering of (software for)
embedded systems. The work lies at the intersection of three areas,
embedded systems, software engineering, and model-driven engineering,
and experience in at least two of them is highly desirable.
The successful candidates will contribute to our work by:
- Developing integrated, tool-supported approaches for the model-driven
engineering of software for embedded systems
- Evaluating techniques through demonstrators and application in industrial
use cases
- Working independently and collaboratively with colleagues in Lero,
as well as academic and industry partners
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
For both positions:
- A doctoral degree (level 10 NFQ) in SE, CS, or a closely related
discipline
- Strong programming skills in Java or another object-oriented language
- Experience of embedded systems software development or MDE
- Excellent communication skills
For the "Verification and Testing" position, knowledge of one or more:
- Verification and testing of software for embedded systems
- Modelling languages, tools, and frameworks
(e.g., Matlab/Simulink, Eclipse EMF)
- Safety-critical systems
- Engineering of controller applications
- Multicore and FPGA architectures
For the "Design Space Exploration" position, knowledge of one or more:
- Visualisation of models
(e.g., visualisation frameworks, graph-oriented visualisation)
- Multi-objective optimisation
- Constraint programming (e.g., CSP, ILP)
- Modelling languages, tools, and frameworks (e.g., Matlab/Simulink,
Eclipse EMF)
- Application of embedded systems in industrial domains
