Mol, Belgique VITO Temps plein

The **Waste Recycling Technologies** (ART) team of VITO is looking for a creative and motivated** researcher **to develop breakthrough technologies in the waste processing industry, using **artificial intelligence (AI)**.

Automated quantitative characterization and sorting of waste materials (metal scrap, batteries, WEEE, MSWI-bottom ashes) is a key requirement for the transition towards a circular economy with increased resource efficiency. To this end, VITO’s ART team has developed an industrial prototype, named** Characterise-to-Sort**, able to capture dual energy x-ray transmission, RGB and 3D image data in an online fashion by scanning the materials on a moving conveyor belt. The team is expanding to speed up development and implementation of this technology.

Further development of this technology towards industrial implementation requires research in the field of:

- ** Designing, training, testing and deploying **state-of-the-art machine learning models for various clients in the waste recycling industry
- ** Development and optimization** of image processing and data pipelines, leveraging GPU & CPU parallelization
- Intuitive visualisations, dashboards and explainable AI (XAI) to empower the human-in-the-loop
- ** Active learning**, semi
- and unsupervised learning to reduce the labelling effort and train machine learning models with fewer data.

VITO’s ART team provides a clear view on how to recover resources to both industry and government. Using innovative approaches and expertise, we strive towards a circular economy by transforming waste into high-quality products.
- You have a **Master** in physics, engineering, mathematics or data science (PhD degree is considered an added value)
- You have advanced **programming skills** (e.g. Python, C++)
- You have **experience** with:

- developing and implementing technology in an industrial context

- You are able to **translate** business needs into smart **AI-based solutions**:

- You have a creative mind, ambitious and eager to turn new concepts into practice and you have excellent writing, presentation and communications skills

**Offer**
- We work '**activity-based**', our activities bring us to our location. Our headquarter is in Mol. Part-time working from home or a satellite office in Antwerp-Berchem, Ghent or Ostend is possible.
- A **competitive salary** with a range of benefits, including allowances, insurance and a modular package of holidays.
- Innovation is our asset, so it goes without saying that we give our employees the opportunity to take additional training courses and stay up-to-date in their field. You will always have the opportunity to **broaden your knowledge** and discover new technologies.
- You will have the opportunity to be part of an organization with an international reputation, known for its cutting-edge technological research and scientific consultancy.
