Currently, the DoTank team consists of five employees with expertise in materials, construction, design, and IT. Demand for IT, digitalization, and automation is increasing, and the operations need to be further strengthened to meet the need for technical support, especially in textile applications. The role involves practical and experimental work where you develop and build prototypes by combining AI, software, and physical equipment (machinery, sensors, and robotics) to solve new problems within the textile field. In the role, you sometimes collaborate with researchers and educational staff at University of Borås. We are looking for someone who thrives in an experimental and iterative working method, where you continuously test, evaluate, and improve solutions in practice. You have strong curiosity and are driven to explore untested ideas and technologies, even when the path forward is not entirely clear. The role involves working in an environment characterized by uncertainty and rapid change, which requires you to be flexible, solution-oriented, and confident in making decisions with limited information. You have a pronounced "builder mindset" and are motivated by turning ideas into functioning prototypes and concrete solutions. Examples of applications in the role may include developing systems related to automatic sorting of textiles. It may also involve sensor-based analysis of material quality to enable more precise decisions in reuse and recycling processes. Furthermore, the work may include developing AI-based solutions that support circular flows and more efficient resource use, as well as building and integrating automated testing and production solutions where software, data, and physical equipment work together. Your Responsibilities Develop solutions in DoTank Center, which is a meeting place for companies, researchers, non-profit organizations, and civil society Design, build, and test prototypes that combine AI, sensors, and machinery Develop AI models (e.g., computer vision) for textile applications Work practically in lab/workshop with, for example, 3D printing, electronics, and automation Connect hardware and software (e.g., sensors + ML models + control systems) Rapidly iterate from idea to test to prototype to deployment Explore new technical solutions where established methods are lacking Collaborate with projects at Science Park Borås and relevant stakeholders for the projects such as companies, researchers, students, and public actors Participate in visits and events that promote the innovation environment Contribute to creating proactivity and inspire courage to design for circularity. Your Qualifications The role requires broad and diverse experience within several technical areas. You have experience with prototype building in a lab or maker environment, as well as extensive experience with hardware such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, sensors, control systems, and embedded systems with serial communication and real-time control, including PLC programming. You also have practical experience with hardware-software integration, including connecting physical systems to backend services, for example via MQTT, REST, and various IoT protocols. Furthermore, you have experience with machine learning and computer vision with a focus on industrial applications, as well as experience implementing AI models in practical systems, including data pipelines with InfluxDB, OPC UA, and EtherCAT. Beyond this, you have programming skills in Python and you are flexible and solution-oriented, with the ability to turn ideas into functioning prototypes. You work independently but also have good collaboration skills and experience working in cross-functional teams.
