MISSIONS:

As Internet of Things (IoT) and IoT-Edge-Cloud continuum technologies advance, physical environments are becoming increasingly equipped with sensors, fuelling the development of smart space ecosystems. Massive quantities of data produced by IoT devices revolutionize the way such ecosystems operate via the exploitation of AI models/services. This has led to the emergence of the so-called Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) systems. In general, designing techniques to promote robustness, efficiency and continual operation of AIoT systems requires realistic and trustworthy data at scale. The research scope of PANDORA aims at providing trustworthy AI models for continual, energy-efficient and robust operation of AIoT systems by relying on the emerging concepts of AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) and Computing-as-a-Service (CaaS).

We are looking to hire one Software Engineer for an initial duration of one year, with a possibility for extension by up to one or two additional years.
