Postdocs in AI-Augmented Systems Engineering (SysML 2.0, AI Assistants) at DTU Construct

Job Description

DTU Construct is building a new research lab that develops and safety-tests AI tools for engineering work, running on local compute it controls, and is hiring postdocs to shape its research, infrastructure and industry network. The aim is to make rigorous systems engineering affordable for every engineering team by developing AI assistants that turn semi-structured data into MBSE models and reason over SysML 2.0 models.

• Apply: 8 October 2026 (23:59 Danish time)

What the post involves

• Develop and validate AI models and harnesses that create and reason over SysML 2.0 system models
• Run engineering pilots with Danish companies and measure effects on lead time and risk
• Build and operate the lab’s local AI compute and validated model stack
• Create infrastructure for safety, security and reliability testing of mission-critical AI assistants
• Co-supervise Ph.D. students, supervise student projects, help teaching and publish

Why this post matters

Large engineering projects often fail on requirements and interfaces, which systems engineering is meant to catch, but many teams cannot afford it. Using AI to make it cheap is a concrete, industry-backed application of LLMs, and joining a lab at its start gives postdocs real influence.

What DTU is looking for

• A Ph.D. in engineering, computer science or a related field
• Experience with systems engineering or with building practical AI solutions
• Interest in AI safety and reliability for engineering

Nice to have

• Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) or SysML experience

Pay and location

Salary follows the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations, with supplements negotiable under DTU’s salary structure for scientific staff; the ad does not give a figure.

How to apply

Apply through the official DTU page. The closing date is 8 October 2026 (23:59 Danish time). Apply online through DTU’s recruitment site with the documents the ad lists (usually a CV, cover letter, degree certificates and, for postdocs, a list of publications).
