As such, the role presents an opportunity to actively participate in research, applying innovative technologies and developments to diverse and meaningful challenges in the fast-paced application domain of Agri-Robotics. 

In particular, expertise in the some of the following areas are beneficial to excel in the role:

  • Continuous Integration
  • Collaborative Software Development 
  • Systematic Code Reviews
  • Agile Software Engineering Processes
  • Cloud Computing and Cloud Robotics (PAAS, SAAS,…)
  • Supporting research environments
  • Robotics and real-time operation
  • Distributed Processing, GPU computing, and High-Performance Computing clusters

The post-holder will regularly advise on and independently supervise the software development work of some junior researchers, including postgraduate students, and take a leading role in software quality assurance, such as code review and approval.
