Software Development Engineer

SABANCI ÜNİVERSİTESİ

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer for the project “Ceramics 4.0” --An EU-funded project for the adaptation of ceramics to Industry 4.0

 Qualifications:

• BSc, preferably MSc degree in Computer Engineering/Software Engineering
• Experience in software development in various environments
• Experience in computer graphics & development of mobile applications
• Experience in data communication between devices and computers
• Excellent communication and reporting skills in English

Job Description:

• To develop software components by use of Visual C++ libraries and other relevant protocols in a multidisciplinary team of materials, mechanical, computer engineers in a European Union project.

• Proposing a strong stepping point for a candidate who is willing to establish a solid research record before applying to a PhD in top-ranked institutions in the world. 

We Will

• Create model-based datasets for process parameter selection,
• Develop software modules for graphical/volumetric simulation of the process,
• Develop software modules for data communication among CNC machines, computers
• Develop mobile applications for data visualization
• Monitor the process for continuous improvement and consider a holistic approach for the planning of rapid manufacturing by accounting interaction among different manufacturing processes.
• Work towards 100% recyclability of materials,
• Initiate an open process and material database for green machining.

Scope of The Project

Translation of ceramics manufacturing to Industry 4.0 significantly lags behind other materials. Building upon the current framework of EFPF, we will generate an automated route for the green machining of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as a forefront showcase for the integration of high-performance ceramics to EFPF. A mobile app, process and material databases, physics-based simulations for the selection of process parameters will pave the way for smart manufacturing of ceramics on EFPF.

Ceramics 4.0 is hosted by Sabanci University, a non-profit, research-focused university in Istanbul. The project aims at fostering industry-academia collaborations to deliver ready-to-adapt solutions for the processing of ceramics.

Objectives of The Project

High-performance ceramics serve a spectrum of applications ranging from dental crowns and prosthetics to refractories. The realization of smart and autonomous systems for ceramics manufacturing necessitates correct catering to the processing of different types of ceramics.

Green machining is the shaping of the weakly-bound ceramic powder; it requires much lower forces and does not lead to tool wear. Here, we aim to tackle the challenges in the process planning and development of green machining on a model ceramic system, YSZ, that is used in aerospace and biomaterial applications.
