Senior multisite R&D Project Manager in sensor integration

Oticon is seeking to fill a 36 months temporary position (with possibility for prolongation) as multisite Senior R&D Project Manager in sensor integration within an exciting and challenging project featuring extensive collaboration with external partners.

We are looking for a senior project manager that can head up our activities for a larger part of the sensor integration work. You will be part of the research and developing unit and report to the senior director of the unit. You will take responsibility of the hardware (HW) and software (SW) coordination in our sensor integration projects. You will work very closely with the collaborating partners in the project. Much effort and enthusiasm will go into working as one team across partners. It is a fantastic opportunity for joining a great team and ensure we bring out product to people that really makes a difference.

The ear may be the place for future sensor integration supporting intuitive man-machine communication. From the ear, we can pick up electrophysiologically the signals of the users intent. This may open up completely new ways of controlling and interfacing a device.

Recent studies have shown that the Electroencephalogram (EEG) can have applications in hearing instrumentation via EarEEG signals recorded from the ear canal. Our current research in this field aims at maturing EarEEG methods towards specified tasks/projects. In our EarEEG project, we are collaborating with leading universities on a global level, e.g. funded by the European Horizon 2020 program.

Join our international R&D team in Denmark as a senior project leader and help to bring technology to a new level. Oticon is a large, fast growing company in the medical-technical industry where our over 450 engineers are committed to deliver well-made, high tech solutions for hearing impaired people worldwide.
