4- Poste ing�nieur en automatique et traitement du signal
(source : J.-F. Bonnans)

Sp�cialis�e dans le traitement des donn�es des enregistreurs de vol
(�
boites noires �),
Safety Line est une start-up cr��e en 2010 qui �dite des logiciels
pour les exploitants
a�ronautiques. Safety Line propose notamment des solutions innovantes
pour la gestion des
risques op�rationnels et techniques, et pour l?optimisation de la
consommation de
carburant par l?utilisation des donn�es de vol.

La soci�t� souhaite �toffer l?�quipe de recherche (actuellement 2
ing�nieurs-docteurs en
statistiques) d?une comp�tence en automatique et traitement du signal.
Dans une ambiance
start-up, o� dirigeants et salari�s �changent r�guli�rement sur
leurs
travaux et id�es
respectives, vous travaillerez au sein de l?�quipeR&D qui regroupe
d�veloppeurs et
chercheurs en statistiques.

En collaboration avec les autres chercheurs de l?�quipe, et en vous
appuyant sur une
pr�c�dente �tude r�alis�e lors d?une collaboration ext�rieure
avec une
�quipe de recherche
sp�cialis�e dans le d�veloppement d?algorithmes pour l?optimisation de
syst�mes
dynamiques, vous contribuerez � l?�laboration et � l?am�lioration
d?un
mod�le de dynamique
du vol. Puis, vous contribuerez � l?identification des param�tres
a�rodynamiques de ce
mod�le de vol � partir duquel vous d�velopperez des m�thodes
num�riques d'optimisation
(planification de trajectoires, commande optimale).
Vous d�velopperez �galement des algorithmes de traitement de signaux
extraits
d?enregistreurs de vol (d�bruitage, fusion de donn�es, mod�lisation,
pr�diction, d�tection de
rupture).

Profil :
Formation bac +5 (Master recherche ou ing�nieur) en automatique et
traitement du signal
avec une exp�rience d?un an minimum.
Une exp�rience dans le secteur a�ronautique serait un plus.
Comp�tences requises :
- Mod�lisation et optimisation de syst�mes dynamiques : repr�sentation
d?�tat, contr�le
optimal, m�thodes d?optimisation (m�thodes de type gradient, SQP,
point int�rieur).
- Estimation et Filtrage optimal (filtre de Kalman). Filtrage
particulaire (Monte Carlo).
- Des comp�tences en traitement statistique des signaux (d�composition
temps-fr�quence,
ondelettes, d�composition de signaux, d�tection de rupture,...)
seraient un plus.
- Ma�trise des langages C et C++. Des comp�tences en Python seraient
appr�ci�es.
- Anglais scientifique et technique
