Full-Time Experienced Developer in Hardware Design / Electrical Engineering
Job Description
Open position for an experienced developer / researcher in the area of ASIC/FPGA design for implementing image processing algorithms for 3D light-field displays at Holografika, for one year. This position is for an Experienced Researcher (ER) in an EU-FP7 Marie Curie Action called PROLIGHT: Modern Signal Processing Methods for Ultra-Realistic Light-Field Displays.
Description
The PROLIGHT project is an international EU-FP7 Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP) with a focus on advancing the research and development in the area of visual media through developing modern signal processing methods for ultra-realistic light field displays. PROLIGHT involves one academic institution (Tampere University of Technology), and one industrial partner (Holografika).
Project
This open position is for an experienced researcher in the PROLIGHT project for one year, specifically in hardware / FPGA design and preferably expert in high-speed imaging / display systems.
With continuing advances in 3D display technologies, the project partners adopt the notation of light field as the most complex phenomena carrying information about visual scenes and whose reproduction brings the desired higher realism. The research programme addresses the problems of capture, analysis, modelling, compression and rendering of light fields of real-world scenes, so to support the further development of the light-field display technologies and to ensure an enhanced user experience. The approach makes case of state-of-the-art displays being developed by Holografika and while tailoring capture and compression methods for them, aims also at advancing the theory of light-field modelling and its practical application on next-generation 3D displays.
The emphasis of the open position in this context is on developing new techniques for the implementation of 3D light-field displays and the infrastructure feeding them with data, working closely with the existing hardware development team. Experience with hardware design tools and methodologies, manufacturing processes and management of manufacturing / assembly / testing of prototypes is desired. Targeted application domains include the aerospace industry, advanced display systems, bio-medical imaging, geo-visualization, urban planning, architectural modeling, material science, molecular visualization and more.
On the part of the applicant, this requires interest not only in 3D displays and 3D graphics, but also in the internals of 3D displays, image processing domains, and collaboration with domain scientists and other institutions. Furthermore, a strong interest and good skills in learning existing designs, and working with/managing team members is necessary, as the targeted research also builds on other and previously developed techniques.
Company
This advertised position is at Holografika, which is an internationally recognized 3D display research and development company with closely working groups of optical, electrical, mechanical and software engineers. Holografika is one of the few high-tech SMEs in Hungary which have been granted with numerous research awards in the past years, acknowledging the excellence of their work done in the field of 3D display design, application specific rendering and acceleration techniques, and research related to the future of 3DTV. In 2005 Holografika Ltd. was a recipient of Red Herring 100 Europe award. In 2006 The World Economic Forum has announced Holografika as a Technology Pioneer. In 2008, Holografika won the „Best Exhibit” Silver Prize at ICT Lyon Exhibition. In 2014, Holografika won the “One to Watch” award at the GPU Technology Conference.
Workplace
Holografika is located in the historic and vibrant city of Budapest, in the garden city suburb Wekerle. The company’s offices are conveniently located a few minutes from the underground station, making the city center reachable in 15 minutes. Also the Budapest international airport (BUD) is reachable under 30 minutes.
Benefits
ERs are remunerated according to EU-FP7 regulations for Marie Curie Actions as well as according to local host regulations. ER appointments will be made with respects to local host company guidelines. Same applies for other benefits and vacation days.
