Autonomous Systems Engineer
This profession is suitable for a wide range of contexts, from the management of industrial drones to autonomous driving of vehicles and collaborative robots in work environments. Experts in this field carefully analyse problem specifications, create a 'digital twin' of the system for simulation and validation, and design control algorithms based on mathematical models and artificial intelligence. These control algorithms aim to maximise performance while ensuring the robust safety of autonomous systems and the people involved in their operation. During development, informed technology choices are made with a focus on effectiveness, efficiency and cost. The management of communication with sensors and actuators also focuses on the security of the information transmitted, with particular attention to potential threats and vulnerabilities. Finally, the software produced is designed and implemented in accordance with the necessary ISO standards.
