The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual to contribute to the Innovate UK-funded SYNERGIA project on Cyber Security for the Internet of Things.

SYNERGIA will demonstrate a novel, secure-by-design, endpoint-to-core IoT platform for large-scale networks of low-power resource-constrained devices. The platform will provide users with distributed processing capability at the Edge as a service. Project outcomes will be showcased at a final demonstration event.

You will contribute to an ambitious research programme and industry R&D on scalable, secure configuration management and control of IoT systems; secure connectivity for battery-powered resource-constrained devices; edge-based AI for cyber security of IoT systems.

What will you be doing?

Over the course of the project you will be:
  • Undertaking applied, hands-on research and industry R&D on scalable, secure configuration management and control of IoT systems; secure connectivity for battery-powered resource-constrained devices; edge-based AI for cyber security of IoT systems.
  • Collaborating with research group members and consortium members and contributing to the software and firmware implementation and integration of elements of the SYNERGIA platform.
  • Contributing to the organisation of the SYNERGIA final demonstrator event.
  • Leading and contributing to the authoring of journal and international conference publications.
  • Assisting with general project administration duties, such as the authoring of verbal and written reports and project deliverables.

You should apply if
  • You are excited about undertaking high technology readiness, applied research.
  • You have a track record in one or more of the following areas:
  • Low-power communications and networking for battery-powered, severely constrained wireless embedded devices.
  • Machine Learning (ideally with track record in distributed/federated AI or embedded neural networks)
  • Systems and/or Network Security (ideally with track record in Intrusion Detection Systems)
  • Edge computing
  • You have strong software and firmware development skills using Python or C.
  • You understand the nature and complexities of developing working prototypes of research ideas
  • You have prior experience with working with, or in industry.
  • You enjoy being member of a large team of engineers and researchers.
  • You can build strong, effective relationships with a range of people from different sectors and levels of seniority.
