WORK OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS/GRADUATES AT FBK!

Ideal candidates for this position are young people with strong
computer programming skills and a desire to engage in a path of
professional growth in the area of research. We are looking for people
willing to work in international teams, attracted by research and
innovation, with a spirit of initiative and critical thinking skills.

If you are interested in joining our top class Research Units, check
out the details below!

--------------------------------------------------
Workplace
--------------------------------------------------

The Embedded Systems (ES) Unit of the Information and Communication
Technology Center of the Bruno Kessler Foundation, Trento, Italy
consists of about 25 persons, including researchers, Postdoc, PhD
students, and programmers. The Unit carries out research, tool
development and technology transfer in the fields of design and
verification of embedded systems.

Current research directions include:

* Formal Verification of complex embedded systems leveraging on model
  checking techniques;
* Formal Safety Analysis, based on the integration of traditional
  (e.g. Fault-tree analysis, FMEA) with symbolic verification
  techniques.
* Contract-based engineering and contract-based formal verification of
  aerospace systems using model checking techniques;
* Contract-based techniques for fault detection, identification
  relying on model checking techniques;
* Formal Requirements Analysis based on techniques for temporal logics
  (consistency checking, vacuity detection, input determinism,
  cause-effect analysis, realizability and synthesis);
* Model based planning and scheduling for aerospace and robotic
  (drone) systems, for the management of autonomous vehicles, drones
  for exploration in critical environment, factory automation, and for
  process optimizations (with applications in Industry 4.0),
  leveraging model checking and satisfiability modulo theory
  techniques;
* Model based on-board autonomy for different vehicles (AUV, ROV)
  using planning and scheduling techniques;
* Model based recovery relying on planning and scheduling techniques;
* Model-based development of controllers for embedded systems;
* Satisfiability Modulo Theory, and its application to planning and
  scheduling, verification of hardware, embedded critical software,
  and hybrid systems;
* Combination of machine learning and symbolic reasoning for
  predictive maintenance.
