Job description

Topic:

6G Networks should enable the Internet of Senses as the society evolves towards its full digitalization. Wireless-based Sensing will thus become a key technology to fulfil the Digital Twins vision across industries but the need of deploying dedicated equipment for this purpose and its corresponding intensive processing might jeopardize its implementation in practice. Furthermore, enabling such a vision requires ubiquitous connectivity, intelligence, awareness and flexibility, also threatening its implementation due to cost and energy efficiency reasons. In this project the system requirements for ISAC systems will be reviewed and defined. Furthermore, 6G Networks enable the possibility to integrate the function of sensing and communication together in one system that will share resources in frequency, time, energy and computing domains. The project will focus on the design of Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) systems which are needed to guarantee that such 6G vision can be met in a cost-efficient manner while significantly contributing to the “Green Deal” objectives.

Funded by the European Union - NextGenerationEU

At i2CAT we already have an established telework policy for some time. You can work from home or from the office, whichever suits you best. We ask that you attend the office two days per week, one to stay connected with the team and the other one to establish relations.

If you decide to come to the office, we are located in Zona Universitària, next to the Campus Nord of the UPC, within a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. It is a very well connected area (metro, tram, bus) with bars and restaurants around.

Our offices are designed with an open-office concept where everything is light and transparency (we do not have opaque rooms). We have a variety of workspaces so that you don't have to be at the same table all day.

i2CAT is an organization committed to equal opportunities. That is why we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourage the female collective to apply.

i2CAT is an organization committed to diversity and we seek to increase the number of people with disabilities in our team.
