We currently have two open positions:.

• RUST Robotics Software Engineer
• Researcher in Sensing for Robotics

Are you passionate about software engineering and robotics? We are offering an exciting opportunity for a full-time researcher to work on the FORCES project. This groundbreaking initiative focuses on building secure and reliable robotic systems using memory-safe programming languages like Rust.

We are looking for motivated candidates with a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, who are enthusiastic about Rust programming, robotics, and cybersecurity. You will be joining a dynamic, multidisciplinary team and working closely with academic and industrial partners to push the boundaries of cyber-physical defence systems.

As part of the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Lab at RMA, you will work on exciting tasks such as use case prioritization, robotic testbed setups, and transpilation validation, helping to improve the security and reliability of robotic platforms across aerial, ground, and maritime domains.

This position offers a unique opportunity to pursue a PhD, collaborate with top-tier institutions, and gain valuable insights into both the academic and industrial sectors.

Key Highlights

• – Work on innovative Rust-based solutions for robotic systems in the defence sector
• – Collaborate with leading universities and industry partners
• – Opportunity to pursue a PhD
• – Enjoy a range of benefits including flexible working hours, free public transport, meal vouchers, healthcare coverage, and more

The Royal Military Academy is hiring a Researcher in Sensing for Robotics to join the DEFRA-funded GUIDED project. The project focuses on creating a VR-integrated, multi-spectral sensor system for explosive device detection and disposal, providing EOD operators with enhanced 3D awareness and a safer operational interface.

Key Responsibilities:

• Advanced sensor integration for visible and multi-spectral sensing.
• Developing and optimizing algorithms for sensor fusion and real-time 3D mapping.
• Collaborative, feedback-driven development with stakeholders.

Requirements:

• Master’s or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related disciplines.
• Experience with multi-spectral sensors and 3D reconstruction, C++/Python, ROS2, OpenCV, PCL.
• Strong communication, innovative problem-solving, and interdisciplinary teamwork skills.

Benefits: Full-time, open-ended contract with excellent benefits, including DKV insurance, end-of-year bonuses, flexible working hours, and access to on-campus amenities.

Location: Royal Military Academy, Brussels (occasional international travel)

Join us in a role where you’ll make a difference in defense technology and innovation!

The Royal Military Academy is subscribed in the ERASMUS programme. As a result, the Robotics & Autonomous Systems unit attracts national and international master thesis students that want to pair a thorough theoretical development to a practical implementation on one of our robotic systems.

We always prefer to include master thesis students in our financed research projects, as this gives the students the greatest potential to work inside a real research team and to have the financial means to have access to equipment. Therefore, please take a look at our running research projects and let us know if your are interested in contributing.

The Royal Military Academy is an accredited university and can deliver PhD. degrees. However, in order to maximize cross-fertilization between civilian and military research, we prefer to work in collaboration with universities. 

As a military university, our role is often to validate in real-life conditions the theoretical developments performed within the PhD. study. As a unit of Belgian Defence, this often entails field-testing robotic systems (land / air / marine) in tough conditions.

Please have a look at our active research activities and our running projects and let us know if you see a potential for collaboration.
