Los Alamos National Laboratory
Acoustic Signal Processing Machine Learning Postdoc
Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, us, 87545
Overview
Acoustic Signal Processing Machine Learning Postdoc at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The Applied Acoustics Team (MPA-11) seeks a postdoctoral researcher with strong computational skills and a solid background in signal processing and machine learning to contribute to noninvasive acoustic/ultrasonic characterization and monitoring in complex, noisy systems. Responsibilities
Automate the recording, conditioning, and processing of real-world measurements in the time- and frequency-domain, and develop machine learning algorithms to extract useful information from signals. Participate in experimental acoustic measurement technique development and contribute to the development of a new sensing technologies. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, publish results, and present work to sponsors and conferences. Work includes development of new techniques, customized instrumentation, and analysis algorithms; contribute to patents and publications. What You Need
Minimum Qualifications
Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field, earned within the last five years or soon to be completed Strong technical background in one or more of the following areas: signal processing, advanced data analysis, statistics, ultrasonic techniques, nondestructive testing, and machine learning Fluency in one or more programming languages such as Matlab, Python, or C++ Experience with standard machine learning software packages like PyTorch and Scikit-learn Experience with common deep learning model architectures such as MLPs, CNNs, and transformers Experience developing, implementing, and testing machine learning methods for signal-processing applications using complex, noisy real-world data Demonstrated ability to conduct original scientific research through peer-reviewed publication or conference record Desired Qualifications
Knowledge of electronics and typical laboratory test instruments (e.g., function generators, oscilloscopes, piezoelectric transducers) Experience with generative learning models (e.g., GANs, CVAEs) Experience with edge learning on platforms such as FPGA Ability to adapt to new project requirements and learn new areas of research as needed Ability to obtain DOE Q clearance (usually requires US citizenship) Work Location
The work location for this position is onsite in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at management discretion. Notes
