Research Engineer (m/f/x) on Accessible Augmented Reality
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has a vacancy in the Distributed & Interactive Systems research group for a talented Research Engineer (m/f/x) on Accessible Augmented Reality for Remote Sign Language Interpretation. Job description
We are looking for talented Research Engineer with an interest in accessibility and XR technologies, focusing on supporting Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals through Augmented Reality-based remote sign language interpretation.
A 2-year fixed-term full time Research Engineer position is available at the Distributed & Interactive Systems (DIS) research group at CWI . You will be working under the supervision of Dr. Abdallah El Ali (CWI) and Prof. dr. Pablo Cesar (CWI).
The candidate will be partially embedded at LAB42 and the SignLab Amsterdam at the neighboring University of Amsterdam, working in collaboration with Dr. Maartje De Meulder (HU Utrecht) and Prof. dr. Floris Roelofsen (UvA).
We are seeking a Research Engineer to research, design, and primarily develop inclusive Augmented Reality and XR technologies for remote sign language interpretation. The role focuses on technical HCI challenges in accessible immersive communication, including real-time AR interaction, spatial presentation of interpreters, adaptive visual interfaces, and multimodal feedback for deaf and hard-of-hearing users.
The successful candidate will build AR/XR prototypes for remote interpretation scenarios, with emphasis on interaction techniques for AR glasses and immersive environments. The work may involve spatial anchoring of interpreter views, attention guidance, gaze- and context-aware interfaces, latency-aware communication design, and integration of visual, spatial, and haptic feedback.
The position combines research engineering, prototyping, and empirical evaluation. Activities will have a strong technical development focus of implementing XR...
