Research Engineer Research · Sheffield · Hybrid Remote - Opteran Technologies Ltd
Description
Are you an ambitious researcher looking to change the world? How would you like to play a vital role in understanding how insect brains function? And then applying that knowledge to revolutionise how we build robots?
At Opteran we are pioneering a new approach to building truly intelligent robots - by reverse engineering the brains of insects that solve all the problems we need in autonomy using a brain the size of a pinhead. We call it 'natural intelligence'. The specific role aims to understand what features of insect eyes and processing algorithms underlie their amazing visual behaviour and can inspire the next generation of intelligent machines. In your first 6 months, you will create state-of-the-art infrastructure facilitating this new research pathway, before diving into the computational modelling of key circuits of the insect brain. You will work closely with Opteran's commercial and R&D teams to ensure that research addresses commercial needs, and delivers impact to customers. Key Responsibilities:
The Company
After 8 years of research, Opteran has pioneered brain biomimicry - the ability to understand real brains and re-engineer them. Starting with how insect brains see, avoid collisions, navigate and make decisions, reproducing these biological systems so efficiently they run on low-end silicon to enable machines to behave more naturally. Providing an alternative to current photogrammetry and DL approaches, this has broken through today's limitations; not only is it small, lightweight and ultra-low powered, it is orders of magnitude more robust and is also verifiable, is edge only and does not require data. We call it 'natural intelligence'.

Research shows that women and minority groups are particularly likely to second-guess themselves and not apply — so if you're worried about meeting all of the criteria, get in touch anyhow and let us do the worrying.
