Calibration Algorithm Engineer
Shape nanometer precision. Design calibration algorithms that overcome noise and drift, turning physics into high‑tech performance—from simulation to real‑world impact.
We are a global high-tech consultancy company with a team of entrepreneurial engineers, scientists, and digital experts from around the world. Together we form a fast-growing and proud community. We offer consultancy services to high-profile clients globally in diverse service areas, such as:
- Technology & Engineering
- Energy & Renewables
- Life sciences & Pharma
- Digital & IT
About this vacancy
As a Calibration Algorithm Engineer, you develop the models and algorithms that keep high‑tech systems performing at their peak. Calibration is essential in environments where nanometer‑level precision is required despite noise, drift, environmental variation and complex physical interactions.
In this role, you translate deep physical insight into calibration workflows, system identification methods and parameter estimation algorithms. You take responsibility for the complete calibration lifecycle from problem definition and simulation to experimental verification and integration into real‑world systems.
Your Responsibilities
- Develop calibration algorithms based on physical modelling, system dynamics and statistical inference.
- Build mathematical models that describe system behaviour, sensitivities and noise mechanisms.
- Design and implement calibration workflows for sensors, actuators and subsystems.
- Create algorithms for parameter estimation, drift compensation and cross‑sensor alignment.
- Validate models and calibration strategies using simulations, lab experiments and real‑world datasets.
- Collaborate closely with experts in sensing, optics, controls, data science, system engineering and embedded software.
- Analyse calibration performance through sensitivity studies, robustness checks and uncertainty propagation.
- Explore and evaluate new calibration approaches as technology evolves.
- Clearly communicate architecture decisions and contribute to multidisciplinary design discussions.
What we expect from you
- MSc or PhD in Applied Physics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Systems & Control, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
- Strong theoretical foundation in at least one of the following:
- System identification & parameter estimation
- Multi-sensor calibration and coordinate transformations
- Noise modelling and uncertainty quantification
- Dynamic systems & modelling
- Bayesian inference or filtering
- Numerical optimisation and model fitting
- Experience applying physics-based modelling to real-world engineering challenges.
- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for algorithm development.
- Experience with simulation frameworks, data analysis, and model validation.
- · Strong analytical mindset, good communication skills, and a collaborative spirit.
