R&D Software Engineer M/F

The Compiègne University of Technology is recruiting an R&D Software Engineer for the Biomechanics and Bioengineering (BMBI) laboratory within the Biological Engineering (GB) department.

This recruitment is part of the CHRONOS maturation project supported by SATT LUCTECH.

Your mission

Actively contribute to the software design of an innovative prototype for measuring and processing HD-sEMG (high-density surface electromyography) signals.

As a key player in the project, you will be involved in a complete process of creating technological "bricks": specifications, programming, characterization and experimental qualifications up to reliability tests in a real environment.

Your activities

• Software Development: design and code the software architecture (processing complex signal data, communication between devices, developing the human-machine interface (HMI)).

• Test & Validation Phase: design, plan, and monitor the hardware/software testing phases of the HD-sEMG acquisition device in a realistic environment.

• Data Collection: actively participate in experimental measurement campaigns

• Project Management: ensure monitoring of deliverables in line with SATT Lutech requirements and document developments.

• Technological Watch: stay alert to scientific and technical news to optimize the prototype.

Project Context

Resulting from a collaboration between UTC, Sorbonne University, and AP-HP, CHRONOS addresses a strong clinical challenge: enabling simple, rapid, and accurate assessment of muscle capabilities using HD-sEMG signals.

This innovation opens up new perspectives for monitoring functional recovery, early detection of sarcopenia, and performance assessment in health and sports medicine.

SATT LUTECH supports this project by funding the development of a first prototype to accelerate its maturation and prepare for transfer. This project follows several research projects funded by: EIT Health, AXA mutuals sponsorship, Fondation de l’Avenir, AP-HP, ANR France relance 2030, UTC, IUIS SU.

Work Environment and Context

The recruited person will join the research axis "C2MUST" (Characterization and Personalized Modeling of the neuro-MUSculo-skeletal system) of the BMBI laboratory (UMR CNRS 7338).

The research activities of the BMBI laboratory concern Biomechanics and Bioengineering, more specifically Mechanics of Living Organisms and Health Engineering. The laboratory is attached to the CNRS Engineering Institute.

The central objective of the BMBI laboratory's research project is to develop digital and experimental models (in vitro or in vivo) of living organisms, capable of addressing the challenges of tomorrow's medicine, and to make them dialogue with the data collected (via models, on patients, etc.).

• Have solid knowledge in computer science, instrumentation, and electronics.

• Have good command of the Python language or equivalent.

• Be sensitive to the requirements related to the development of medical devices.

• Be rigorous, methodical, and possess a strong analytical mind.

• Be curious, passionate about biomedical innovation, and demonstrate imagination and creativity in the face of technical challenges.

• Have excellent ability to work in a team within a multidisciplinary environment (researchers, clinicians, engineers).
