Bangalore, IN, 560093
Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future? If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.
About the Program:
The Industry Immersion Fellowship at Volvo Group is a unique program that enables university faculty and post-doctoral researchers to gain hands-on industry experience by working full-time with our technical team at Volvogroup. While a monthly stipend of ₹30,000 will be provided by Volvo Group, the deputing university is expected to continue paying the participant's regular salary during the fellowship period.
About the Role:
Virtual sensors (also called software sensors or soft sensors) are algorithm-based estimators that infer hard-to-measure or expensive-to-sense physical parameters using mathematical models, real sensor inputs, and historical data.
They don’t require physical hardware but operate in real-time using:
• Control-oriented models
• Machine learning or AI algorithms
• Signal fusion from existing sensors
To design and implement virtual sensor models using physics-based and data-driven approaches.
To simulate and validate virtual sensors using MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or vehicle test data.
To evaluate the accuracy and response time of virtual sensors compared to actual sensor readings.
To apply virtual sensors in real-time applications like ECU control, diagnostics, or digital twins.
We value your data privacy and therefore do not accept applications via mail.
