Key Responsibilities:
• Design and implement algorithms to improve the accuracy, stability, and interpretability of air quality sensor data (e.g., calibration, anomaly detection, cross-interference mitigation, and signal correction)
• Conduct in-depth research on sensor behavior and environmental impact to
• inform algorithm development
• Collaborate with software and embedded systems teams to integrate these
• algorithms into cloud or edge-based systems
• Analyze large, complex environmental datasets using Python, R, or similar
• tools
• Continuously validate algorithm performance using lab and field data; iterate
• for improvement
• Develop tools and dashboards to visualize sensor behavior and algorithm
• impact
• Assist in environmental research projects with statistical analysis and data
• interpretation
• Document algorithm design, testing procedures, and research findings for
• internal use and knowledge sharing
• Support team members with data-driven insights and code-level
• contributions as needed
• Assist other team members with writing efficient code and overcoming
• programming challenges

Education/Experience

Required Skills & Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in one of the following fields: Environmental Engineering / Science, Chemical Engineering, Electronics / Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Science / Data Science, Physics / Atmospheric Science (with data or sensing background)
• 1-2 years of hands-on experience working with sensor data or IoT-based environmental monitoring systems
• Strong knowledge of algorithm development, signal processing, and statistical
