Carrier is seeking a Data Engineer, Sensor Technologies Fall 2023 co-op to join the Fire, Security & Sensor Technologies (FSAS) team and help provide innovation and early technology development and vetted technology options for Carrier's Fire & Security businesses. The position will be based in Bradenton, FL USA. The co-op position provides opportunities to learn and apply engineering skills, while gaining understanding of industrial research & development processes. The successful candidate will receive training through project assignments that will combine the technical skills acquired in college coursework with industry expertise from the FSAS team.

Key Responsibilities

• The primary functions of the role will be to analyze data and develop advanced algorithms using pre-production sensor assemblies.

• Ability to visualize and analyze processed data in Matlab, Jupyter notebooks, or similar tools and bring the data into AI analytical tools.
• Experience with processing data streams from sensing technologies, such as metal oxide, electrochemical, optical (non-dispersive infrared, passive infrared, light scattering), light intensity, and/or sound.
• Previous experience or technical understanding of how to combine these data streams into an AI algorithm for the purposes of event classification.
• Understanding on how to compress these algorithms so they can run not only in cloud architectures, but also locally on microcontrollers (Edge-based AI). This can be explored as part of the co-op, if prior experience is missing.
