ETERNITY will create a long-lasting multidisciplinary, academic-industrial network for doctoral training, with leading European industries and academia. We want to achieve a breakthrough in the design of innovative medical equipment where the risk of EMI has been managed at its core: with wearables, with on-board platforms and with collaborative care systems for hospitals. Our consortium (based in Belgium, Portugal, Spain and The Netherlands) brings together expertise in four areas: Electromagnetic Compatibility, Medical Engineering, System engineering and Risk Management.
We are looking for an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) with an interest to start their career in the highly innovative field of risk-based EMC for complex medical systems.
Within this position, you will develop an EMI-aware design process starting from the risk and hazard analyses of the medical system-under-development in its operational electromagnetic environment. The system and environment are divided into tangible items, investigated and characterised at lower subsystem levels (i.e., by use of zoning, footprinting), and transferred to the design process by means of an EMI risk-management plan (EMI-RMP). Based upon the EMI-RMP, the most effective EMC measures will be chosen and implemented. The EMI-RMP borrows state-of-the-art configuration management from system engineering to establish and maintain the system’s performance throughout its full life-cycle, including future upgrades or modifications. Finally, the EMI-RMP will be used as the input for an EMI-aware verification and validation process.
